Career Tool for Job Seekers and Employers Now Available on Mobile Phones
Lutz, Fla. (PRWEB) April 20, 2010 -- A newly available mobile tool is connecting would-be workers with career choices that match their interests and personalities. The SDS Mobile takes the original SDS career assessment tool and makes it accessible via any internet-enabled smart phone.
The SDS Mobile (http://www.self-directed-search.com/MDefault.aspx) is a simulated career counseling experience that enables individuals to choose careers and fields of study that best match their self-reported skills, interests and values. The assessment includes questions about aspirations, activities, competencies, occupations and other self-estimates. The new tool is designed for:
• Job seekers looking for professional fulfillment
• Employers interested in evaluating a prospect's likelihood of job satisfaction
• Students choosing or changing majors
The original SDS was featured in a four-part series on Good Morning America (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/) in 2008, when the program's anchors completed the test and worked a day in one of the professions the tool identified for them.
The cost to complete the SDS Mobile is $4.95, which includes a detailed report of results. The test takes 20-30 minutes to complete. The original SDS has been used by 30-million people and is available in 25 languages. Its results have been supported by more than 500 research studies.
