Harrison Assessments for Career Change      

Harrison Assessments are an excellent tool for deepening your self-awareness in relation to your career so that you can make better career choices. The Assessments provide detailed information on your personal traits, strengths, preferences, paradoxes and inconsistencies.  I love their very positive theoretical basis, the strong scientific validity, the practical flexibility, and the ease of use. Most of all I'm impressed by the depth of insight they provide. 

Why should I use Harrison Assessments for changing careers?

It is important to ensure that your new career will satisfy and fulfill you more than your current job. Harrison Assessments allow you to:

• clarify exactly want you want from your work life and 
• determine what careers would most likely provide it.

You can then focus your job search more effectively and promote the unique qualities that make you the ideal candidate.  Self-awareness helps you find the best job proactively, avoiding costly mistakes, and enhancing your job search strategy. 

It's possible to learn a lot about what careers suit you through self-reflection and structured thinking exercises, but Harrison Assessments will greatly accelerate the process and give very accurate results. 

How does it work? 

We make all of our choices in life based on our preferences. Those choices become our personal strengths, weaknesses, motivations and behaviours. For example, if you prefer to spend a lot of time talking to people, you'll do it a lot, you'll get good at it, get compliments for your people skills and be seen as a 'people-person'. 

In the HA Questionnaire, you will rate your preferences for over 100 different criteria. The Assessments then indicate your communication styles, leadership styles, work styles, motivations and correlate all of these with the success traits of specific careers or job functions. The Assessments give you a completely customized description of you without using any types or categories that limit you. All results and correlations are based on solid research and proven methods. 

The HA Questionnaire asks you to prioritize lists of criteria. It's a simple process, taking approximately half an hour to complete. 

Why does Angela recommend Harrison Assessments over other assessment tools?

Harrison Assessments:

• Support a very positive view of personal development based on what you WANT not what you SHOULD be
• Identify specifically what satisfies and fulfills you
• Provide new and powerful insights into the cause of the patterns in your life
• Allow you to identify the specific traits required for success in a particular career or position
• Reduce the guesswork over how much you will like a new job or career
• Allow you to benchmark your own traits so you can understand what you would have to change to be successful in a specific role
• Provide step-by-step guidance on how to develop yourself for specific traits
• Give you a completely custom view of your personal traits without type-casting or pigeon-holing
• Provide an individual rating on more than 100 different traits and preferences
• Predict both your conscious and unconscious behaviour so you can have a more objective view of yourself

How are they different from other assessments or profiles?

Harrison Assessments:

• Recognize the completely individual characteristics of people without type-casting or pigeon-holing
• Analyze seemingly paradoxical traits in combination rather than individually giving a more accurate prediction of your effectiveness
• Are based on detailed analysis of the best performers (not average performers) so that you can make choices leading you to excellence, not mediocrity
• Identify both strengths and weaknesses allowing full choice in how to approach challenges
• Reveal both conscious and unconscious behaviour
• Predict exactly how suitable you are for specific careers and job functions
• Are based on both Western scientific theory and Eastern concepts of yin and yang
