Anchors for life
2010-05-23
Reviewer: Brian D. Lawrence
The Career Anchors self assessment provides you with a great way of learning to understand what is really a driving factor for you. Just by taking the time to do the assessment opens up the opportunity to learn something about yourself you may not have known or understood. I would recommend taking this test with a group of other like minded people or under the guidance of a coach who understands the career anchors program and can clarify the results. This is a must have tool in your career development toolkit!

Reviewer: Flurry Knox
Product arrived in perfect condition.
Why any professor would have you purchase this for a class is a mystory. I would suggest that you challenge the professor on this one. The product is pretty much a complete waste of time and money.
Good stuff but way overpriced.

Material is great. However $15 for 24 pages, this is way overpriced. In this age, this material should be online and free. Opportunity for entrepreneurs out there.
Use to increase self awareness regarding career choices

Reviewer: Donna Svei
I recommend Career Anchors to people who are trying to decide what they want to do next with their careers. It's also useful for managers who want to better understand their staff members.
Schein's theory is that there are eight primary values that drive career choice and satisfaction. The values are (1) technical/functional competence, (2) general managerial competence, (3) autonomy/independence, (4) security/stability, (5) entrepreneurial creativity, (6) service/dedication to a cause, (7) pure challenge, and (8) lifestyle. He thinks that one of those values, or anchors, dominates for each of us.
The book contains a quick, easy quiz to help you identify your anchor. It then provides a description of each anchor, the type of work you might enjoy, how you might want to be rewarded, how/why you might want to be promoted, and the type of recognition that you prefer.
I have had so many "aha" moments from this book about why I enjoy certain types of work, and don't enjoy other types of work, that I recommend it to career coaches and to anyone who is reflecting on their personal career choice.

Reviewer: N. Vaidya
Covers the essentials. Could have been more elaborate with providing guidance on application of the findings of the assessment. More case studies could have been useful.
