Companies make employment
decisions when they become aware of a candidate who has the ability to
have an impact on company performance, generate significant cost
benefits, reduce costs and increase profits. This ability has
generally come from the individual learning how to produce quality
results in a business environment based on having been exposed to
specific life experiences such as:
-
Education and/or the mastery of specific business, technical,
professional or mechanical skills
-
Previous work related experience
-
Exposure to problems requiring
disciplined decision making and problem solving skills
-
A track record of reliability, dependability and
consistency of performance
-
Challenges that require leadership, team work
and cooperation to produce quality results
The degree to which an individual
has these life experiences and can demonstrate them to new business
opportunities will determine the level of employment interest that
will come from prospect employers. The higher the level the
greater the potential for employment.
The Career Problem Solving
Services Employability Scale (CPSSES) can help a candidate determine
the degree to which he may (or may not) be attractive to potential
employers. It is also a useful tool in identifying weaknesses in
an individuals profile that can be a deterrent to advancement, thus
providing direction in defining career goals that can increase the
prospects of career advancement.
Ask about the benefits that can
be derived from taking the CPSSES as the first step in identifying
career goals, seeking new employment or pursuing career advancement.
