Teaching MBA Students to Invest (Themselves) Wisely
What Type of Career Counselor Are You?
Making career choices is often a difficult and emotional process for students. To increase the likelihood that their clients will find satisfying and rewarding work, career counselors and coaches regularly combine information from the MBTI® instrument with prospective careers. But helping align student goals and preferences with career choices can be challenging for counselors. Now with the new MBTI® Type Tables for Occupations (MTTO), this process is made much simpler. This comprehensive reference work provides information on 250 occupations – from Accountants to Writers and everything in-between. The exclusive data featured are drawn from the results of more than 800,000 MBTI assessments, with a final sample size of more than 195,000 respondents. Each occupation is listed with its related O*NET code, a description, and a demographic summary of the sample. The MTTO will be released on April 4, 2008 for $99. As an exclusive offer to CPP Career Insider subscribers, place your order for the MTTO before end-of-day April 3rd and your cost will be only $59.95 - a savings of over $40. But this offer expires April 4th - so please act quickly. Please use promotion code: PREMTTO when ordering online or calling Customer Relations at 1-800-624-1765.

Dear Colleagues,
This quarter we had the pleasure of conducting a Q&A with Pat Carney Weaver, Director of Career Counseling at Baylor University. Pat is one of our loyal customers here at CPP, Inc. and has discovered great value in using the MBTI® and Strong assessments with her students. These tools have not only benefited her students in their career exploration, but have also allowed Pat to make a profound impact in her students’ lives. Click here to read the full Q&A. As a special note to our readers, I will be moving to a new role within CPP and will greatly miss my daily conversations with many of you. Though I will no longer be a contributor to the ESAM Corner, you will continue to receive relevant information that will be of value to your students and clients. I have truly enjoyed assisting you with all of your needs during my time as an ESAM, and wish you all the best. I am pleased to tell you that Noreen Chan will be succeeding me in the role of ESAM, and you may begin contacting her immediately. She is looking forward to assisting you with your needs and can be reached at 1-800-624-1765 ext. 162 or at nchan@cpp.com. Sincerely,

Guiding your students through their stressful career hunting process can be a challenging process without the right tools. Sharon Richmond, MBA, Executive Coach and Management Consultant at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, teaches her MBA students how to better understand themselves by using the MBTI® assessment. Students are then able to apply their type to improve their career planning and job hunting skills. 
“Rosie” is the third in CPP’s Series of Assessment Case Study Discussions by Judi Grutter, co-author of the Strong Interest Inventory® Interpretive Report and the combined Strong Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Career Report. This issue’s discussion addresses many of the questions counselors ask when interpreting what appear to be inconsistent Strong results. Our client is “Rosie,” a re-entry adult university student who is considering a career change.
