 Career Management Profile (CMP# 000000 for Sample Person on June 20, 2002) Page 1 

I. Profile Overview

Sample's overall profile shows that she would be well suited to a career that balances planned work objectives with her own goals. She would prefer a well-defined career path that provides her with the opportunity to manage and monitor her own progress within it. Sample's best fit would be in a modestly structured organization that provides suitable feedback and a clear path to more senior roles. Working towards well defined project goals as an individual within a team or working within a support organization could be good fits for her.


II. What to Seek & Avoid in His/Her Career Path

Career Path Characteristics to Seek

Sample should seek a career path that is similar to her previous experience but has enough variety to lead to personal growth. A moderately structured management system that provides feedback as needed and allows her to plan and manage her own career would be best for her.

She would be comfortable in a career that focused less on new technologies or highly technical issues. She would prefer a career that provided her with technical support when dealing with technical issues outside her area of expertise.

She should look for a career path that provides the structure in which she will feel able to grow. She would be most comfortable in an environment that permits change. She should seek an organization that provides an opportunity to work independently within a team environment.

She should look for an environment where there is a balance between working on technical issues and regular contact with clients, users and her peer group.

She should look for a career path that lets her achieve her own goals on a regular basis while providing the products and services needed by her clients and customers. She should seek a career that provides a mixture of meaningful work with short term performance goals leading to longer term organizational and her career targets.


Career Path Characteristics to Avoid

She should avoid situations which are entirely results driven without a reasonable system to achieve them. She should avoid management structures that are too rigid or too unstructured.

Sample should avoid careers where her role would focus primarily on highly technical issues or the development of very complex products and systems.

She should avoid both overly structured and unstructured environments. She enjoys some structure and guidelines but would be uncomfortable with too much or too little.

She should avoid career paths where the primary focus of the career is meeting with others and developing new relationships over a short period of time.

Sample should avoid careers that do not provide her regular challenge and reward her commensurate with her performance. She should avoid careers that are strictly ‘bottom line’ oriented and without social value.
