Is the JVIS appropriate for mid-and upper-level executives considering a mid-life career change?
The JVIS is a very effective vehicle for the career counseling of adults. The benefit of the JVIS is its holistic career profile, flagging the client’s entire lifestyle in addition to one’s job. I have had significant success with hundreds of clients in all career-path phases – job-starters, mid-life job transitioners, and more recently, executive “golden handshakers” (recipients of early-retirement packages). I have also longitudinally tracked many of these clients over a period of ten years. An additional application is that of “team management”, wherein all the members of a department complete the JVIS. The General Occupational Themes are then overlaid to provide an interactional snapshot of the team members. This process assists in the validation of the contributions of the individuals as well as the group chemistry within the department. Further details about the interpretation-protocols for adult clients, longitudinal reports and the above applications can be found in my JVIS App
