Download useful, easy-to-use and FREE mini-self-assessment spreadsheets from the Business-Life-Success Blog!
Where are the self-assessments taken from?
- establish your career priorities
- bulk up your CV
- measure your skills
- deal with office politics
- move up in management
- negotiate a big pay rise
- learn to network
- change your career track
Whilst some of these activities aren't the most "sophisticated", they are all interesting and thought-provoking exercises that provide some useful indications or suggestions as an output.
The book is called "The Ultimate Career Success Workbook: Tests and Exercises to Assess Your Skills and Potential!" (get it on Amazon.CO.UK here, and Amazon.COM here).

Turning the exercises into easy-to-use tools for you
A number of the exercises involve agreeing or disagreeing with a set of questions, and adding up the results of your answers under a number of "categories". I found that the easiest way to complete these exercises was to copy and paste them into a spreadsheet and to create simple formulas to do the adding up for me.
Each time I created a spreadsheet like this, I realised that it was in itself a mini tool that could save people a lot of time and make completing these exercises a lot easier.
So, I will be publishing each of these mini-tools over the coming weeks and linking to them from this page. I still recommend downloading or buying (UK - here / US - here) the book for the additional exercises and explanation, because there's some good stuff here that I would just end up re-writing if I wanted to include it here, but hope that these mini-tools that I have adapted from the multiple choice exercises will be useful.
