Product Description

In many cases, people select a career for all the wrong reasons, and find their responses to the workplace are incompatible with their true values. This situation results in feelings of unrest and discontent and in lost productivity. To help people avoid these problems, the newly–revised Career Anchors is designed to help people uncover their real values and use them to make better career choices. This revised edition includes two new sections, "Major Stages of the Career" and "Career Movement, Progress, or Success." Instructions and other components have been revamped for clarification, the references have been updated, and the contents have been rearranged for more convenient usage in classes and workshops. Career Anchors can help you think through your career options and give you a clear understanding of:
∗ Your own orientations toward work
∗ Your motives
∗ Your values
∗ Your talents
The Career Anchors Instrument and Trainer′s Manual provide a systematic way of exploring how you perceive yourself, based on your own experiences. The instrument is divided into three parts?the orientations inventory, the career anchor interview, and the conceptual material. Career Anchors will help people:
∗ Define the themes and patterns dominant in your life
∗ Understand your own approach to work and a career
∗ Provide reasons for choices
∗ Take steps to fulfill your own self–image

4.0 out of 5 stars Career Transition, 18 April 2003

By	MR C P NEWBOLD (The Learning Curve, Kent, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

As a career transition consultant, I've used this workbook with individuals and groups as part of their job search campaigns. While overtly American (and initially treated with scepticism by some Brits), it has real relevance for people who's roles have been made redundant and who are taking time to find not just any job - but the RIGHT job!
Questionnaire based, Career Anchors is well-validated and highly accurate for most clients. It helps them to understand their talents, motives and values in ways which serve their self-marketing strategies. It's as relevant for self-employment as it is for a future employed role, and becomes part of the R & D each client should afford themself. What's more, its completely self-explanatory and when the questionnaire is combined with the interview, the results can be very revealing.
The interview is a bit cumbersome and somewhat repetitive and needs to be conducted with someone trustworthy, such as a significant other or, if circumstances permit, a career coach.
Achille's Heel: requires a degree of maturity to be most effective and at least a few years' work experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time For Reflection, 19 Oct 2009

By	Jacqui Moore (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

People bumble along from job to job, or even stay in the same job forevermore, and may not know the reasons behind this.

Career Anchors helps to identify why you've made the choices that you have. For those who feel as though they are at a crossroads the book can be quite a revelation.

I've given this 4 stars, instead of 5, as not all "career anchors" are given the same level of attention. For example, there are useful suggestions on the rewards and career paths that the 'General Manger' or 'Technical Function' would enjoy, but 'Autonomy' and 'Entrepeneurship' are not given as much analysis.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering a career change, or is looking for their next move. The book has probably stopped me from making the wrong one.
