Frequently Asked Questions About CareerLeader®,
CareerLeader-College™, and TalentRetainer™
How does CareerLeader differ from other
popular inventories like the Strong Interest Inventory® and
the Myers-Briggs® test?
There are three key differences between CareerLeader and other interest
or personality inventories like the Strong® or the Myers-Briggs®
tests.
First, CareerLeader is specifically designed,
from the ground up, to help you analyze yourself with respect to
a career in business (including helping to show you whether
or not you really want a business-related career). Other inventories
are effective at helping people choose between broader choices:
between a career in dentistry vs. being an engineer, for example.
What CareerLeader is about, is helping you to understand the business-related
elements of work that will inspire and motivate you, and thus to
help you determine which business careers you will be most successful
and satisfied in.
This brings us to our second key difference. Since CareerLeader
is specifically about business careers, we're able to become much
more detailed than other inventories. CareerLeader goes far beyond
telling you that you should be (for example) in business, or in
finance; you may be steered into commercial banking, or institutional
securities sales, or venture capital. No other inventory is able
to make such fine-tuned distinctions.
Lastly, CareerLeader is able to take all of this self-analysis several
steps farther and cross-reference your unique profiles of interests,
values and abilities with real-world opportunities and considerations.
We offer insights on how you can determine which corporate cultures
will offer the best fit for your own style (as determined by our
inventories). And armed with your newly gained self-knowledge, you
will use the business career path information in CareerLeader to
"try on" different business career paths to see how well they might
suit you. Thanks to our over 30 years of consulting with business
professionals, we're able to provide very realistic pictures of
what to expect in the over 25 different career paths we examine.
In sum, CareerLeader differs from other
tests because it:
- Is all about business
- Assesses all three elements
of who you are that are most important in making a career choice:
your interests, values, and abilities
- And provides in-depth looks into
a broad range of what the business world has to offer, allowing
you to determine how well you would fit in each of the career
paths profiled.
