The CareerStudy™ is the fundamental practice of CareerMap™, and the source of our deep insights into career success.
Through the gathering and analyzing of thousands of career profiles from working professionals within a specific industry, CareerMap can determine the key factors that career-seekers will want to know, such as:
What are the best jobs for career advancement within an industry?
What are the pre-requisites to be qualified for these top jobs (in terms of education, professional experience, leadership roles)?
What are the typical career paths that successfully lead to these top jobs?
Where are the best jobs located?
New Insights Via Innovative Research
Our approach to studying careers is unique. We want to know what people have done in their working lives, and the motivations for pursuing their specific paths. We have found that professional interests are quite inseparable from personal needs, and therefore we intentionally look at them as a combined set of factors that ultimately drive career decisions. We ask questions that would be considered out-of-bounds in a typical employee survey – some describe it more like a job exit interview. This makes our database an incredibly rich and powerful resource from which we can understand career pathing in great depth.
