CliftonStrengths & CareerLeader Assessment Codes

Posted on by

Becoming more self-aware of your interests, motivations, and strengths may enable you to have a clearer understanding of the steps you need to take as you plan and prepare for a meaningful career. To help build upon your self-awareness, Career Services recommends that you complete the CliftonStrengths and CareerLeader self-assessments before you meet with your Career Coach.

The CliftonStrengths assessment uncovers which talents you rely on to build relationships, think strategically, execute plans and influence others to accomplish goals. Knowing your unique set of talents, you’re empowered to succeed by doing what you naturally do best.

The CareerLeader assessment was created at Harvard Business School and designed specifically for business students and professionals. This tool is useful because it will provide you with insight into your skills, motivators and interests, and measures how similarly you answer a set of questions to groups of professionals who are happily employed in their fields.

Please refer to the email sent to you from Career Services on June 7th with assessment instructions. If you did not receive one, email Career Services directly at career.services@rotman.utoronto.ca.

Join us at our upcoming Career Discovery Series workshops this summer! The Career Discovery Series (CDS) is a 3-part series of workshops that will help set you up for success in your career journey at Rotman and beyond. As the MBA program ramps up quickly, your attendance at all three sessions is extremely important. These sessions will provide you with a baseline of information needed to prepare you for your career management activities before the program begins.

If you missed the first session that was held earlier this week or would like to revisit the information covered, you can find the recorded sections of this session in the Career Services section of the Pre-Program Portal. The Personal Career Map, Job Search Strategy Assessment Wheel, and Career Readiness Checklist are also available for download in the Quick Links.
 
If you haven’t yet registered for our next series of workshops taking place virtually on Wednesday, July 12th from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET, please register via the Zoom link that was included in your designated Career Coach’s introduction email.
 
During this three-hour session, your Career Coach will take you through cover letter and resume best practices to help you prepare strong application documents. The MBA program kicks into high gear quickly from orientation onwards so it’s beneficial for you to learn these important tactics early on as these application documents are often challenging to compose.
 
If you have any questions, please email your Career Coach directly.
