A job that puts food on the family table is different from a career that leaves a legacy for your grandchildren to marvel at around that same table. Yes, you need to pay the bills now. But if you’re not working toward a great career, you’ll pay a larger, more existential price later. As the saying goes, you can get straight A’s in school and still flunk life. Likewise, you can have the right job, the right benefits and the right paycheck – and still flunk your career. A great vocation is not the sole domain of the rich and famous, the people you hear or read about, the people others envy. You can have a great career regardless of the number of zeroes in your bank account.
How? You have to rethink most of what you know about having a job, keeping a job, getting a job or inventing a job. Do you satisfy with your current job, or just do it because you need to pay the bills? It’s time for you to ponder about this matter, and this book will help you by introducing Career Strengths Discovery Model. This model is developed on the basis of some of the most comprehensive theories and up-to-date psychological researches.
The core belief of the model is that your career choice should be based on your own strengths instead of improving the weaknesses. Many people think that self-development means improving one’s weaknesses to be a better person. It is true if your goal is to be good enough. But to be great and create your dream life, you need to switch your focus from weaknesses to strengths. As Marilyn vos Savant said: “Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses.”
Career Strengths Discovery Model comprises of four stages, from the very first strengths analysis to help you to understand your potentials, to utilizing them to get your dream job, and finally accelerating your success in the chosen career through exploiting and developing your strong points. They are:
Stage 1: Find your strengths and your career options
To come closer to the career you want and move further away from work you do not want, just remind yourself of the strengths that are inherent to your being.
Stage 2: Make your career choice
When facing career choices, whether big or small, you will discover that you have a multitude of options. It can be difficult to pick one, especially if you have no idea what you want to do... or if many things appeal to you. The stage includes many actions that you can take to make a firm decision of your chosen career.
Stage 3: Get your dream career
Think your dream job is unattainable? Think again and again. With the right forethought and preparation, you can make the move. The next stage in the model is to map out your way in your new career. Let's take more and more effort to achieve that.
Stage 4: Accelerate Your Success
Getting your desired job is great, but still not the end of our journey. In the fourth stage, tons of tips and strategies are introduced in order to develop your strengths and help you go to the top.
The Career Strengths Discovery Model is designed as a tool for your career. No matter which group you may be falling in, overall, the model will help to boost your confidence, find your strengths and create the best opportunities for your career development.
So, are you ready to start your career journey?
