PowerPoint Instructions for Knowdell Motivated Skills Card Sort
And it can change your life.
In just 10 minutes you will have a better picture of your skills and your career direction.
Knowing what your motivated and transferable skills are is one of the four critical pieces to figuring out where and how you can be the most successful and the most fulfilled.
The other three pieces are: your interests, your personality type, and your values. We have tools to help you with each one.
Plus we offer face to face (over Skype) career counseling where we use all of these tools to help you find the perfect career.
Hello Dick Knowdell,
I just wanted to thank you for inventing the skills and values card sorts, and for making the online versions available to us career coaches. I just used both online card sorts with a remote career coaching client who was sending me all sorts of mixed signals.
My client is capable of doing many different types of jobs, and with her multiple degrees and linguistic abilities is also capable of living in any number of countries, which she had done previously. She was torn between the extremes of working for a large corporation in a foreign country, or staying closer to home, opening a coffee shop and taking care of her aging parents.
The Motivated Skills deck showed both of us exactly which skills she preferred using. The values card deck showed that the most important things in her life were family, and work life balance. Achieving a high level position, career success and being a big shot in a corporation were not her values. So, after using the online card sorts, the answer became clear to my client. I didn't have to say anything. Her new career direction was that obvious.
These are amazing tools. Thanks for creating them.

Dear Mr. Knowdell,
I purchased the online Motivated Skills Card Deck from CareerPlanner.com to help me identify my transferable skills for a new resume I was writing. But then something else happened.
While using the skills deck, I realized that the source of my recent job dissatisfaction was that for the last few years I was not using one of my favorite skills. It was a skill I had always taken for granted because it came so naturally to me. It was a skill I had always been praised for. But now I was not using it and it left a big hole in my career, leaving me feeling empty. Now that I know how important that skill is, I'll make sure the next job I get allows me to use it.
Thanks for helping,
M.R. Los Angeles, searching for a more satisfying job
