Are you worried about your career?
Career assessments provide insight -
the first step in turning worry into fulfillment.
Thinking about a career change or starting a small business? Have you tried career tests and career assessments in the past, but didn't get much out of it? Exploring careers and career change is typical for a lot of people.
The U.S. Dept. of Labor says that people change careers 7-9 times in a lifetime. Job changes can average 10 - 14 or more between 18 to 36.
According to The Conference Board (2011 survey), only 45% of Americans are satisfied with their careers. That is the lowest level in 22 years of the survey. Many of the 55% who are dissatisfied feel they are in a dead-end job and are eager for a career change.
The new world of work means career transition and the need to adapt quickly. Short career stints, technology advancements, and the need for differentiation require proactive career choice, ongoing career planning, online identity management, and savvy career decisions.
According to Seth Godin, widely published author and futurist, "The only security you have is in your personal brand and the projects you've done so far."
William Arruda, the founder of the leading personal branding program, says, "To succeed in today's ultra-competitive marketplace, you must be keenly aware of external perceptions. Professional and personal success today doesn't happen in a vacuum...your brand is actually held in the hearts and minds of those around you."
What is your personal brand? Are you digitally distinct?
Have you done any strategic thinking and career planning to reach your goals - or are you leaving that up to chance?

The Difference that means you gain control of your career
Would you like to be the strategic leader of your career or business, rather than "trying out" different jobs and careers to see what might fit?
My recommendation: use career assessments, personal branding, online identity management, and social networking to guide your career. Let me take you step-by-step through the process of fast-forwarding your career or business. Here is what one recent client had to say:
"I very much appreciate your passion, help and energy on my branding project. My LinkedIn and resumes are vastly improved, and my knowledge of how to leverage social media in a productive way has really expanded. Your energy and good humor is just as important. It is not just what you know, but how you deliver it!"-- A. Huston, Senior Software Engineering Manager / Technology Consultant Manager
My professional services combine what you can discover about yourself (internal perceptions), along with what others perceive (external perceptions) about your brand. In addition, my G3! (Get Clear, Get Found, Get Hired!) certification training and Job Search 2.0 package ensure you have all the tools to make your job search successful.
"Susan Guarneri was awesome in this G3! certification training (which incorporates the 360Reach). She has an excellent grasp of writing branded communications that incorporate both personal brand and the all-important Why-Buy-ROI (TM) that get employer'/clients' attention!" -- Susan Whitcomb, Founder/President, www.TheAcademies.com
With a well-rounded picture of who you are, from both internal and external input, we can work together realistically on what you want to achieve and how best to do that.
My LEAP Program for Career Focus and my branded communications (resumes, bios, online profiles, audio/video scripts, and more) are unique because they use this combined internal/external approach to career and business growth.
"I took your valuable coaching...I have been offered a much better position with the potential to make $130,000 a year within the next year or 2 - a huge boost from my current income! I can't thank you enough!--E. Land, Registered Nurse
