Career Strengths Discovery Model

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.”

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.
