With The Knowdell Card Sorts
The Knowdell Card Sorts we use are a valuable tool for exploring and understanding your career values and motivated skills. These textual-based cards are designed to help you contemplate and sort through various aspects of your career preferences and strengths. By using these card sorts, you can gain insights into your core values, preferences, competencies, and developmental areas. This knowledge can then be used to align yourself with potential employers and positions that align with your values and maximize your occupational satisfaction.
Understanding Career Values
Career Values are the core meaningful standards or principles that you hold unwaveringly. These values, such as ethics, loyalty, and honesty, play a crucial role in determining your career path and satisfaction. When considering a career or a position, it is essential to understand your career values to align yourself with like-minded employers, organisations, and roles.
The Knowdell Career Values Deck consists of 54 cards, including 49 descriptive cards and 5 categorisation cards. These cards help you categorise your career values based on how often you value them, ranging from “always valued” to “never valued.” By completing this card sort, you can gain a deeper insight into your career values and make informed career decisions based on your outcomes.
Exploring Motivated Skills
Motivated Skills are the qualities, actions, or behaviours that drive you to produce outcomes or achieve goals. These skills play a significant role in your career and workplace success. By understanding your motivated skills, you can communicate your preferences, competencies, and development areas to your current or potential employer. This information can be used to tailor projects or roles to your strengths or provide developmental opportunities.
The Knowdell Motivated Skills Deck consists of 56 cards, including 48 descriptive cards and 8 categorisation cards. These cards help you categorise your motivated skills based on your level of enjoyment and proficiency. By completing this card sort, you can gain insights into your enthusiasm for using each skill and assess your proficiency based on your self-perception.
