Launch Your Postcollege Career with JASPER
|
|
Peter Vogt |
JASPER,
Monster's Job Assets & Strengths Profiler
self-assessment tool isn't a machine that will spit out
the name of the perfect postcollege career for you. Be
thankful for that for two reasons:
Do you really want to give any tool that much power over
your professional life?
JASPER's results are much richer, and therefore much
more useful, than a single job title could ever be.
That's one of the reasons we don't suggest jobs in
particular [with JASPER], says Jennifer Bruning Brown,
JD, PhD, head reSearch psychologist for Monster
subsidiary Tickle, JASPER's developer. Since JASPER is a
strengths-based test, it won't necessarily have anyone
saying, The test says I can't do such and such, but
rather, One of my strengths is such and such.
Indeed, one of JASPER's best features is its ability to
help you pinpoint your strengths. This task is often
surprisingly difficult for college students and recent
grads. You may have little or no understanding of your
leadership style, for example, or your work personality
the way you go about doing your job, especially in a
team setting.
Do you tend to be spontaneous in your approach to
day-to-day activities, or are you more deliberate? Are
you calm and composed under pressure, or do you tend to
become more emotional and animated? JASPER can help you
answer these key questions.
Perhaps more importantly, though especially as you leave
college, begin looking for your first real job and
ultimately start your career JASPER can help you
identify your strongest universal skills and most
cherished work-related values. You can use this
information to be more purposeful in the career options
you explore and to make wiser decisions about the career
you ultimately decide to pursue. Here's how.
Universal Skills
We all have specialized skills that are useful only in
certain settings or situations. On the other hand, we
all have universal skills as well, sometimes called
transferable skills, that are essential in, and
applicable to, practically every professional setting or
situation.
JASPER will help you uncover your best universal skills
so you can explore industries that need those skills and
help prospective employers understand exactly what you
have to offer as a potential entry-level employee.
The whole point of the test is to help a person discover
or learn about specific skills they may not have been
aware of prior to taking the test, says Bruning Brown.
That awareness allows a person to highlight those skills
on [his] resume or in an interview setting better than
they might have before.
Work-Related Values
But your JASPER results go beyond how you'll pitch
yourself to prospective employers. The values section of
the test will help you understand what you need from
your career and employer to feel motivated and
satisfied.
Knowing your values is key to figuring out what job to
choose and what field to pursue, Bruning Brown stresses.
When I took JASPER, I received a score of 9 out of 10 on
the Personal Growth value and an 8 on the Helping
Others¡± value. From these results, I can see that no
matter what career path I pursue, I'll need to feel as
though I'm growing personally and helping others through
my work. Thus, if a particular career option I'm
exploring fails to match up with these key
characteristics that matter so much to me, it will be a
bad fit.
Think of JASPER as a tool that will help you generate a
detailed checklist of what you have to offer to and what
you need from your future career. You can start building
that critical checklist now. |
