Our Career Profiler

 

Scientifically sound. Personally relevant. Make better career decisions.

Career Profiler - Komprimiert

The Career Profiler helps people make informed career decisions. Developed in collaboration with lecturers and researchers at the University of St. Gallen, it is based on scientifically sound methods and a non-commercial sustainability approach. Our goal: to encourage young professionals to think about what is really important to them in their future working environment.

Our Career Profiler:

A tool box for Career Professionals

Our study strategy combines three basic principles:

  • Support for systematic self-reflection,

  • an advisory, inclusive approach,

  • and valid, target group-oriented survey methods

    .

Instead of simple answers, we offer a solid foundation for individual consideration of professional priorities. The Career Profiler is intended as a starting point—not a conclusion—in personal career planning.

The Career Profiler is based on three proven scientific models:

  • Interests: based on the Personal Globe Inventory (Tracey, 2002) – expanded to include eight practical activity facets such as analyzing, designing, or leading.

  • Competencies: according to the Great Eight model (Bartram, 2005) – a clearly structured grid of work-related skills such as organizing, presenting, or acting entrepreneurially.

  • Values: adapted from the Schwartz Value Survey (Schwartz, 2012) – with a focus on individual attitudes such as self-determination, security, universalism, or performance orientation.

These three perspectives—interests, skills, and values—combine to form a comprehensive profile for career orientation.

Our profilers are aimed a:

  • Job seekers who want clarity about their career goals,

     

  • Employers who want to better understand the needs of young talent,

     

  • Universities that want to improve the quality of their career counseling services.

    .

We invite all interested parties to engage in a professional dialogue with us—about survey methods, teaching methods, and what constitutes good career counseling.

The Swiss Career Survey is a survey for Swiss students on starting their careers during or after university. It has two main objectives:

  • It provides insights for university career services into students' career aspirations. This allows conclusions to be drawn on how career services can be further adapted to students' needs.
  • It supports students in preparing for their professional careers. The Swiss Career Survey aims to show students what is particularly important to them in terms of their future workplace.

The Swiss Career Survey is an initiative of the Career Services Network Switzerland (CSNCH). 

 

  • What skills, interests, and values set me apart, and how can I apply them in a targeted manner in the working world?
  • How do I differentiate myself from other applicants?
  • What kind of working environment appeals to me?


These are crucial questions when reflecting on your career and planning your next professional step.
