EMPOWER YOUR CAREER... and the Careers of Vets, Minority Students, and 1st Generation College Students
CAREER CLARIFIER is a revolutionary career clarity test developed to help college students and graduates (in all stages of their careers) quickly identify their best career options so they can have jobs they love and achieve their professional potential.
We also have an audacious social impact goal to support the career success of 100,000 college students who are either veterans, attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) or Hispanic Serving Institute (HSI), or are the 1st person in their family to attend college (1st generation college student).
That’s where you come in. We need your backing to launch our new career clarity test. For every test we sell, our social mission is to provide a free career clarity test to a veteran, student of color, 1st generation college student to help them achieve the professional success and financial self-sufficiency they want and deserve.
WHAT PROBLEM DOES CAREER CLARIFIER SOLVE?
Despite spending tens of thousands of dollars (or more) on their college education, more than half of college graduates don’t know what career they would enjoy and excel in. Many take whatever job they land after graduating, and often waste years (or decades) of their life stuck in unfulfilling jobs.
Career Clarifier is unlike any other career test. Here’s why: All the popular career tests today suggest careers primarily based on personality. The flaw with that methodology is that personality determines HOW we do our job but not WHAT job we should do.
Think for a moment about the sharks on the hit tv show Shark Tank. They all have the same job - business leader and investor- but their personalities are wildly different.
Instead of personality, it’s their ability to size up an entrepreneur, analyze a market, understand the financials of a business, and structure a profitable deal. It’s their skills, knowledge, and abilities that make them great at their careers.
Career Clarifier, unlike other career tests, primarily uses a person’s skills, knowledge, and interests (and a bit of personality) to identify career options that truly fit.
Our career clarity test is the perfect solution for:
- Students in university / college getting ready for the working world
- A recent college grad still looking for the right job / career
- A not-so-recent college grad feeling stuck in their career
- Experienced working professionals looking to make a career transition
- High school students thinking about what they want to major in during college
THIS CAMPAIGN ADDRESSES A CRITICAL SOCIAL PROBLEM
Most college students and graduates don't know about the 1,000+ different careers that exist.
While veterans, people of color, and 1st generation college students have big dreams and strong motivation, they typically have less knowledge of the professional careers available to them to help them achieve their full potential. Many will get stuck in unsatisfying jobs that don’t let them achieve their potential.
That’s why for each career test we sell at Career Clarifier, we will donate a career test to a veteran who is enrolled in college, a student at an HCBU or HSI, or a 1st generation college student.
When you back this campaign, you’ll be helping people you know personally who need career support, and we will be able to provide the Career Clarifier to three traditionally underserved populations so they can have inspiring careers and be heroes to people in their communities.
Because of your support, they will be the example that other people will look to and think, “I can do that with my career too.”
CAREER CLARIFIER IS EASY TO USE
People can use their computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone to answer 80 multiple choice questions about skills, knowledge, and interests.
Our proprietary platform will compare their answers to an in-depth analysis of more than 1,000 jobs and careers geared toward people with college degrees. Each test taker instantly receives a comprehensive, 90-page results report, which can be saved, downloaded and/or printed.
The personalized results report includes:
- The test taker's preferred skills, knowledge, and abilities
- 20 specific jobs and careers that best fit the test taker
- Comprehensive Career Summary Profiles that describe each recommend job
- Detailed information on how to evaluate the career options and choose the best one
- Work settings the test taker will enjoy working in based on their interests
- How to choose the right career for you
ABOUT ME
The past 17 years of my life have been dedicated to helping college students and college graduates to identify their best career options, so they don’t waste years of their life job hopping from one unsatisfying job to another.
In 2004, I founded a career clarity coaching service that helps college students and college graduates to identify their best career options. More than 7,000 people have used my 1 to 1 coaching service to identify career paths they will enjoy, excel in and be proud of.
For the past two years, I have been building a revolutionary online career clarity test that will provide career clarity to people who don’t have access to expensive 1 to 1 career coaching.
Working with a technical co-founder, we’ve designed and built a proof-of-concept model that has been tested and fine-tuned with more than 500 of my clients. I’ve gotten their feedback and suggestions on how to improve our system and results report.
I’ve also spent the past eighteen months writing comprehensive summary profiles for more than 1,000 careers to help users learn the details about each recommended option. The career clarity test is set for October 1, 2021 release.
I’ve been self-funding all this work and product development. It’s an investment I feel privileged and proud to have been able to make.
Now, I need your help. The more we raise, the more tests we can provide right now. Ultimately, our goal is to provide 100,000 free tests.
