Career Analyzer:
"Discover Your Real Potential"
Thousands of people interested in finding out more about their careers have taken the tests.
The concept was developed by a team of occupational psychologists, who specialize in career counseling and have decades of experience in helping people to find the right career. The goal of
a career analysis is to give individuals an opportunity to discover what their aptitude abilities are and where their real career interests lie.
This is achieved by analyzing the occupational interests, the personality type and the aptitude ability of subscribers to the service. Once the tests are completed, suitable careers are recommended to the
individual. Detailed information, including the job outlook and salary information, is also provided for each career choice which is recommended.
Market Your Uniqueness
by Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE
At one of my friend Gary Purece’s seminars, a man in the audience told him,
"I’ve heard you speak about finding uniqueness, and, let me tell you, there is
NO uniqueness in my life."
Gary smiled and said, "Yeah, you’re probably right." (Gary is a world-class
advertising, marketing, and public relations expert.)
"No," the banker persisted, "that’s not what I mean. I’ve spent 35 years of my
life in the banking industry. I studied to be a banker at school. I got my
banking degree. I’m a banker. That’s all I am."
Gary recalls, "I was seeing this box being built around him, just as I do with
so many people who are talking about their products or their entrepreneurship.
They’re not looking for the unique quality in what they’re doing."
So Gary asked the banker, "What do you do on Saturday?"
"Well, I sleep all day Saturday. I’m so tired."
"What do you do on Sunday?"
"I go to church on Sunday," he told Gary.
"Great! Are you active in church?"
"Yes, I’m the chief financial officer."
"Large church? Small church?"
"It’s a very large church," he said. "3,200 members, a budget over $2 million."
"You probably have lots of help running it," Gary said.
"No," the banker said. "I run it all by myself. And I coordinate all the
volunteers for fund-raising projects. You know how churches are."
"You get the volunteers together too?" said Gary. "Plus, you run, all by
yourself, a $2 million budget for a non-profit organization? Your unique
qualities are not just being a banker. You can do financial management and get
volunteers together." Gary started pointing out the banker’s various unique
talents.
The man put his head in his hands. "Gary, I never recognized that."
Gary’s advice to everyone is: "Take the time to recognize that you are unique in
your personal life, in the products you represent or manufacture. We’re all
unique."
If you doubt it, gather some of your supporters and ask, "Okay, what do you
think is different about me?" A few years ago I wanted to create a new cassette
pack. I spent a day brainstorming with my friend Jim Cathcart. "How do you see
yourself?" he asked. "How do your friends see you? How do others in your
business see you?" As we talked, he wrote the answers on a flip chart. "What
makes you unique? What can you talk about?"
Finally, he jotted down the perfect title: "Express Yourself with Flair:
Increase the Speed with Which You Succeed." "Of course!" I said. "That’s so
obvious." My friend was just having me answer questions about myself from
different points of view to establish my distinctiveness. It worked.
