Career Consultant

For over 20 years, Career Direct® has helped individuals of all ages make informed decisions about their future. Whether determining the proper course of study, or guiding someone through a career transition, entering the workforce for the first time, rejoining the workforce, or seeking to maximize your God-given talents and abilities, Career Direct ^® aides individuals in self-discovery to teach them about who they are and what they were made to do.

Career Direct® evaluates what most other well-known assessments measure such as personality, skills, and interests, but it also assesses values, stress, and financial management behavior, which aren’t included in other assessments. More conveniently, Career Direct® compiles all of these into one biblically based, encouraging report.

The results from the personality portion of Career Direct® are correlated significantly with two well-known personality assessments (Hogan Personality Assessment and Costa and McCrae’s Neo-PI), and compare favorably with results from other personality assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, but are more comprehensive.

The results from the interests section of Career Direct® are correlated significantly with the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory and compare favorably with other interests-based assessments such as Campbell and the Self-directed Search.

Having a consultant to interpret your results isn’t required but highly recommended. Our Career Direct^® consultants have been trained and certified to analyze the results of your assessment and speak truth into your life. They connect all the components of the assessment to make the best fitting career or study recommendations. Additionally, their perspective makes a huge difference in providing objective feedback while also minimizing the stress that accompanies tough education or career decisions.

Most of our consultations will happen via Video Conference. Our Consultants typically use Skype, Facetime, or Zoom to ensure a personal experience.

We also support live, in-person consultations if there is a Career Direct Consultant in your local area.

We’ve been in the career guidance business for almost 30 years. Larry Burkett first started the career program in 1990, and over the years, the assessment has been refined and improved to meet customer needs while maintaining our statistical reliability and validity. Today’s current assessment is designed for your convenience and available time in your busy, day-to-day life.

Over 250,000 students and adults have taken Career Direct®. Incredible, right?!

The assessment typically takes about an hour to complete the assessment. It’s recommended to take the entire assessment in one sitting; however, your progress can be saved if you can’t complete it all at one time.

You will then want to plan on 2-3 hours for your consultation with your Career Direct Consultant.

Founded by Larry Burket in 1976, Crown has helped more than 50 million people manage their finances and discover their unique design. Crown operates in more than 100 countries and its teachings have been translated into 120 languages.

Think about it this way. Our finances are derived from work, and our work is derived from our gifts and talents. So really, the two are deeply connected and interrelated. Therefore, true stewardship starts with understanding and managing our strengths and weaknesses. It’s really neat how related they are, isn’t it?
