Sample workbook

Define your current situation

Which of the career situations we most commonly see most resemble your own?

Depression questionnaire

Work affects mood and vice versa - sometimes adversely. Effective career planning can not take place if there is a need for action to improve mood or even treatment. Try one of these questionnaires if you think your decision making might be affected by low mood.

Personality test

Learn more about your character before making any career decisions. This link takes you to a Jung/Myers-Briggs typology exercise online. This is not a substitute for a full Myers Briggs test but it will give you some idea how it goes about classifying the 16 different personality types.

Defining career success

This is a self directed learning course of ten lessons by email aiming to raise your awareness of and update you (in case it has changed over time) what quantifies career success for you as far too often people conduct their careers under expectations from peers, bosses, society or family rather than for themselves and then wonder why they feel little satisfaction. At the end of the 10 day (five minutes a day - or stored to do all at once) you can upgrade for a fee to the supported version if you wish.
