Is Your Career NOT Satisfying?

Searching For New Career Direction?

Is Your Job Wearing You Down?

How Do You Like Monday Mornings?

All you have to do is get your career back on track. Sounds simple right?

Even if you have been very successful, it is quite normal to feel the need to change and improve your career.

Knowing precisely what to change is critical to achieving success and job satisfaction. However, knowing what to change is sometimes the hardest part.

What exactly do you change to create a more satisfying career?

• The type of work you do
• The company you work for
• The boss you report to
• The coworkers you work with
• The location and the commute
• Employee or self employed

At CareerPlanner we help you understand what to change and we help you discover a more meaningful and rewarding career.

That is our mission and our purpose in life.  We are not satisfied until we are able to help someone else.  It's that simple.

3 Ways To Get Fast Expert Career Advice

We are specialists in helping you identify what's wrong with your career and what you can do to fix it.

We offer three services to help you put your career back on track:

• Online Career Test



• Career Counseling and Coaching Sessions (via telephone)



• Resume Critique and Review

Why Are We So Good At This?

• We have a lot of experience coaching people - on the job and in stressful situations.  So we know what works and what does not work.
  
  
• We have a tremendous amount of high level experience managing and leading people.  We are talking CEO level, VP level etc.
  
  
• We are very intuitive and we have a unique ability to listen to you and to "see" what is not working.  People that know us well are amazed at how fast we can solve these types of problems.


• Our Career Test and other tools have been designed using this intuition and knowledge of careers and how they really work.

Discover The Work You Were Meant To Do

The first step in planning or changing your career is to discover the type of work that you truly love.

This is precisely what our career test is designed to do.

It will determine what your interests are and then it will show you which types of careers match your interests.  It will also show you which careers you should avoid. 

Your interest level is the single most important factor in deciding what type of work you will enjoy doing.  If you are passionate about your work, you will be much more likely to be succesful and fulfilled.

How Does Our Career Test Work?

There are 180 questions that take about 18 minutes to complete.  There are no advertisements to get in your way like on other online career tests.

You take the test online. Any computer connected to the internet will work just fine.

After completing the test you will receive your Career Test Report which is typically 15 pages long. Don't worry it's very easy reading. It does not contain any advertisements.  There are no extra hidden fees.

The report will reveal your personal "Career Code" also known as your Holland Code. 

Your career code is unique to you, however it does change over time.  You should re-take the career test every seven years or after any major life changing event such as losing a job or a getting divorced.

Your report will contain a list of specific careers and job titles that match your career code. You can also use your career code to search through our list of over 12,000 careers.

In addition to learning your career code, the report will tell you which types of careers are a good match for you and which you should avoid. 

It will also explain why certain careers are a match. This knowledge will help you make career decisions and find a career that is both rewarding and satisfying.

How Is Our Career Test Different?

At CareerPlanner, we have a very unique ability to "see" and "visualize" what type of work you will enjoy and be successful at. 

We developed this ability while working in real businesses where in the process of building teams and companies we interviewed thousands of people, hired hundreds of those, and then worked with those people day in and day out. 

We know what it takes to be successful and how to match people with careers they will love.

This is not text book stuff.  It's been proven.

The technology, tools and methods we use at CareerPlanner is not something you will find elsewhere.

The Benefits of Knowing Your Career Code?

• Build Confidence in Your New Career Direction
  It takes courage and guts to make a career change. The older you are the harder it becomes. Knowing your career code will help you decide on the right career and will give you confidence so you can move forward.
  
  
• Validate Your Career Ideas
  If you already have an idea for a new career, knowing your career code will help validate your ideas. It's better to know now if your idea for a new career is going to be a bad fit.
  
  
• Get Objective Career Direction
  Your career test report will give you something that is very hard to come by: objective, unbiased, and accurate career advice.



• It's Fast
  You can take the Career Test in 18 minutes and have your results within the hour.
  
  
• No Risk
  We are here to help people.  That is our mission.  Thus we offer a 100%, no questions asked refund.  If our career test does not help you, just send us an email or call our toll free number. 
  
  

Re-discover Your True Passion in Life

Many "Career Changers" tell us that our Career Test reminded them of talents and interests they had forgotten long ago.

In the push to get through school, get a job, raise a family, and pay the mortgage, many people set aside their true passions in life.

Then, at some point later in life they find themselves not fulfilled, not satisfied, and looking for something else.  If you find your job is not meaningful or is not rewarding this will help.

Our career test has the ability to remind you of what you really wanted to do with your life.

Remembering your true interests allows you to change your life so that it is much more satisfying and rewarding.

Lack of Career Satisfaction Can Kill You?

Today we spend about 33% of our adult life time working (~ 55 hours per week). 

When anything begins to take up 33% of your life it becomes extremely important to your health and your well being.  Don't believe me? 

Take sleep for example.  It also consumes about 33% of your life time and you know what happens when you don't get a good nights sleep.  The next day you are not quite "all there."  Your performance is off a bit.  You feel like a 6 cylinder engine that is only firing on 3 cylinders.

Quite simply, if your career is not satisfying, it is going to impact your quality of life.

Don't feel guilty because you want a better career. There is simply no point in wasting your life doing the wrong kind of work.  We each have a purpose to fulfill and it's not healthy to deny or ignore the drive to find our true purpose.

Just a note of caution.  There are people who don't care how they spend their time and they think any job is OK.  They also think you should not be so concerned about your career. Some people are simply wired differently. If you want to discover a more satisfying career, read on.

What About Your Aptitude and Ability?

Our Career Test will indirectly measure your aptitude however this is not an aptitude test.

We won't test your math skills, your hand-eye coordination,nor your ability for spacial visualization.

Why?

Ability is far less important than interest. 

If you are passionate about a type of work, you will become very good at it. You will easily find the time to study, practice, learn etc.  You will do whatever it takes to succeed.

It's that simple. 

The reverse is not true.  If you are good at doing something i.e. you have a strong aptitude for something, it does not mean you will enjoy it nor be successful at it.

It's all about discovering what you are truly interest in.

The Three Biggest Mistakes In Career Testing

1) Most other career tests on the web will force you to answer all the questions.  This will distort your test results and send you down the wrong career path.  We allow you to skip several questions and choices.

Why is this so important? 

Let's say they give you a question that asks, "Would you prefer to train elephants, or parachute off tall buildings?" 

If neither of these activities is attractive to you, you will still be forced to pick one and that will affect your test report.  We don't force you to choose.

2) Many career tests are really personality tests in disguise.  Personality is not as important as discovering your interests and your true purpose in life.

However, if you are looking for a personality test, we offer the Myers-Briggs test.

3) Finally, many career tests on the internet are called free, but they are really not.  They let you spend your time taking the test, and then they hit you with a surprise fee to get a copy of your report. We don't do that.  With our test you will pay before taking the test and there are no extras or hidden fees. 

Is The Career Test Accurate & Reliable?

The basic technology behind our Career Test has been in use for over 50 years.  However, in 1998 we released a vastly improved version that incorporates our own special technology.

Since then we have helped thousands of clients around the world. Although we are based in the US, we have Career Test clients from the UK, Canada, China, India, Singapore, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany etc.

Even with our 100% money back guarantee, we hardly ever see requests for a refund.

Building A Better Career - Made Easy

When building a better career, the place to start is with the "type of work" you do.

You want to build your career upon a solid foundation, so getting the type of work right is top priority.

The CareerPlanner Career Test will help you discover the work that is right for you.

Many of our Career Counseling clients who want to change careers point to the fact that they no longer enjoy the work they are doing. You need to know your Career Code if you want to find work that is both rewarding and fulfilling.
