Career and work contribute significantly to personal and life satisfaction—and, when they are problematic, to personal unhappiness and stress.
In this comprehensive career assessment book, Rodney L. Lowman addresses the three major areas that matter the most for understanding and helping people with their career choices: occupational interests, abilities (broadly defined), and personality characteristics. Chapters examine how these factors relate to career satisfaction, how to assess them using psychometric measures, and how to integrate the results of these assessments with the clients’ specific needs and goals. Detailed case examples are included, as well as a nuanced discussion of ethics and technology.
Lowman’s career assessment model is the only one to integrate vocational interests, abilities, and personality characteristics—three domains that have proven their value in career assessment across a broad range of career concerns. By applying this model, career assessors can offer practical career guidance that makes a big difference in peoples' lives.
