Why do you need career advice? Well, what happens when there is a mismatch between your aptitudes and your job? For anyone other than humans, the answer to this question is: extinction. But because we humans are so adaptable, we survive, but at a terrible cost. What gets extinguished is the pure joy of life spent doing something that comes absolutely naturally. We spend our days in our job feeling either bored, frustrated, and/or sense that "something is missing". Sometimes having only one thing out of whack can ruin their chance for career satisfaction. They key is to get career advice to find out which ones are messing you up.
Some people feel that they probably already know what their abilities are. However, this is rarely completely true. School and work typically use only a few natural abilities. It's exceedingly difficult to tell from grades, scholastic tests, or job performance just what your real abilities are. You could have a very strong natural talent for something and never know it.
Some people think that abilities don't matter because they already hate a job they're supposedly "good at". It is true that many times people are successful in their work and good at what they do, but are terribly unhappy with the career. Usually this is because they have some of the abilities necessary for success, but they often have other abilities that are either (a) not being used, or (b) the tasks they're performing or the environment they're in is not right for other abilities.
ABOUT STEVE
Founder of the Oxford Program and the Oxford Method
Steve
is the founder of The
Oxford Program and a master career coach.
Rather than just reading about the
career change process, Steve has
lived it. He teaches from
experience.
Steve writes career advice articles for
top-tier websites such as AOL, Techies,
and ImproveNow.com. He has also moderated
career advice forums on Monster.com
and the Princeton Review website.
History of the Oxford Program. Thirteen years ago, Steve walked away
from a career as the youngest executive
at a large Wall Street investment bank,
and went to England to coach the
prestigious Oxford
University lightweight rowing team.
That unusual
career change prompted subsequent
studies into organizational
psychology and the relationship between
human nature and career choices. Feeling strongly that one's work life
should not be dreaded, Steve
researched and developed the concept
of one's "natural
vocation".
After years of research, assembling the most sophisticated arsenal of tools known to the
career counseling profession, and working
with clients in his private practice,
Steve developed the "Oxford
Program" -- a truly
superior career-discovery and
selection methodology.
With his unique methodology and vast knowledge of available career options, Steve is considered one of America's top career coaches.
The Oxford Program was developed out of a commitment to help people discover opportunities that fit not only their nature, but also their situation.
As the Founder and Head Career
Coach of the Oxford Program, Steve's
mission is to help program clients
make life-changing discoveries and
lead extraordinary lives.
