Basic membership
Entry level membership to get you going
Who's it for?
Basic membership is free and is a low-risk way of starting to manage your career through the platform. It gives you the chance of carrying out a range of assessments, start thinking about what should go into your portfolio, and the opportunity to try recording your own video-portrait.
What's included?
- The Personality test: This test gives you an understanding of your personality type, and the implications for your career. The test is based on the work carried out by Carl Jung and extended and developed by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs (and subsequently commercialised as MBTI®). We note that this is not the official MBTI test and we have no affiliation with any organisation(s) who publish or hold rights to the MBTI® assessment.
- Your Personality explanation: This is an online report that allows you to understand your profile, and consider different job-titles that are common for someone with this profile. It provides some relevant career considerations as well as some interview questions that you might use to understand a potential role better.
- Leadership, Team roles, Values and Commercial assessments: These assessments give different perspectives of your strengths and preferences. In the Basic Membership you get a card that summarises your profile. For more detailed explanation and insight look at Career-Pro membership.
- 'Your Story' video-portrait: As a Basic member you are able to record a video-portrait with the theme of 'Your Story'.
- Your portfolio: With Basic membership, you are able to start capturing examples of your strengths. You are limited to 10MB of storage.
- Your Character Map™: This is a dynamically generated document that enables you to explain to recruiters who you are, as well as what you've done. It includes the cards from the assessments along with your work preferences.
Career-Pro membership
Ongoing career development for the price of a cup of coffee
Who's it for?
Career-Pro membership is the core proposition and enables you to develop deep self-awareness and leverage your insight in the management of your career. It enables you to build a lifetime portfolio of evidence of your strengths, and develop a range of competency responses. The one to one, annual review sets up a rhythm to ensure that you keep a focus on your career and provides independant and objective support.
What's included?
- All of the elements of the Basic Membership (see above)
- Leadership, Teamwork, Values and Commercial Explanations: Easy to understand reports for each of these assessments that explain your profile, and let you understand the profiles of friends and colleagues. In each assessment report, career considerations are provided, along with interview questions that might help you probe your fit into a potential role.
- Annual Career Review: At the end of each year, Career-Pro members get a coaching session to discuss your career direction. These reviews provide both encouragement and supportive challenge, allowing you to be accountable to yourself and to acknowledge progress made.
- Personal Url: With Career-Pro membership, you are able to create your personlised URL and publish your profile through your Character Map™. With your personal Url, you can email your Character Map™ to recruiters. Career-Pro membership includes email templates for leveraging your Character Map™ in the recruitment process.
- Video-portraits for standard competency questions: You are able to record your reponses to standard competency questions, and publish your preferred recordings to your Character Map™, enabling them to be viewed by recruiters early in the recruitment process. Each topic as a suggested brief covering areas to discuss, and includes an auto-cue to help you structure your responses.
