about your work, your life and your future. It helps you answer
crucial questions like:
| • |
At this age and stage of my career, what are the most
critical determinants for career success and satisfaction? |

What are the new rules for career success? |

All
of us are grappling with different issues. Check out the different
menu pages, and select the areas most relevant to your needs
at this point in time.
Navigating
Career Advisor
This
is an extremely easy and intuitive web site to get around
in. On each menu page you will find synopses of the modules
on the left-hand side of the page. In the right-hand column
there is a description of additional components to that module,
for example, quizzes, self-assessments and tips: these are
not links.
The
links are contained in the synopses.
Confidentiality
Career
Advisor is completely confidential. No one will have information
on what you are reading, or what you write in the exercises:
all your entries disappear when the session ends (which is
why you need to email them back to yourself in order to save
them).
Tips
on Getting The Most Out of Career Advisor
Pace
Yourself:
Select the issues most relevant to you. Try to set aside about
15 minutes of uninterrupted time (some modules will take longer,
some less.) You may want to do more than one module at a time,
but you don’t have to do everything at once.
Complete
the Quizzes and Exercises:
You will get much more out of Career Advisor if you take the
time to answer the questions and complete the quizzes that
are associated with some of the modules. (Not every module
has an exercise attached.)
There
Are No Right or Wrong Answers:
In completing the exercises and quizzes, only you know what’s
true of you.
Save
Your Work: When
you complete an exercise, you will need to save the work on
your own computer (it will not be saved on the Career Advisor
system.) Just click on the "email me" button.
Your work will then be sent to the email address you used
to log on to the system.
Create
A Portfolio: We suggest creating a folder on your computer
called "My Personal Career Portfolio" in which to
save your thoughts, ideas and strategies.
Check
for Periodic Updates -- new modules, tips and exercises.
Take
Time and Invest Effort: Work plays a critical role in
how we feel about ourselves and ultimately how effective we
are as individuals, partners and parents.
You’re
important. This is about your work, your life and your future.
Invest the time and effort that you deserve.
