How does a prospective employer view you personally? It is one thing to have a good CV and qualifications and experience, but in the end an employer wants a person with certain attributes that will serve the job and their organisation well. Employers want to know as much as they can about your motivation and attitudes, how you get on with others, how you respond under pressure, will you accept responsibility, are you a good time manager, could you be a leader, do you have customer service or sales attributes etc? Final decisions for "who gets the job" are usually made on these more personal criteria rather than formal qualifications and job history.

Most organisations and professional recruiters these days use a personality test which compares you to "normal" scores of other people. Sometimes an employer wants people with strong characteristics in some aspects, so even being "normal" all the time does not mean that you would be the most suitable appointment!

So we recommend that you obtain the "My Career Development Profile" personality assessment, as used by many professional recruiters and large organisations. You will obtain comparative feedback across up to 34 factors relating to career success. You can compare yourself against norms of Executives/Senior Management, Sales People, Team Leaders/Supervisors, and of the General Workforce (white/blue collar), so there is an appropriate assessment for most roles. When you produce your Profile you choose which norm group you think is most appropriate. In fact, you can choose all/any at no extra cost.

So you receive an objective diagnosis of how potential employers are likely to see your strengths and weaknesses. Plus you receive developmental comments to help you improve if you wish. But that is not all.....

Whilst we know that there are "free" and low cost personality tests on the Internet, before you buy it might pay to explore how useful is the information they provide, how valid is the test, and whether it provides practical information to really improve your career prospects. Many free tests are very simplistic, and don't have any credibility with qualified psychologists and career specialists. Many "free" tests provide a mass-produced generic Summary report, and then require you to pay money for "your personalised test" Some are just plain misleading, and hide fees until you have invested time and energy into doing the "free" questionnaire.

Testimonial:

It is very accurate and insightful, and has been vital in providing objective feedback, and in identifying my areas for improvement.
