4351.0. "Changing Careers" by SHRCTR::PJOHNSON (aut disce, aut discede) Sun Jan 07 1996 20:06

Where (if anywhere) in Digital might one expect to find linkage into
some program that supports career changes? I'm thinking of access to
Myers-Briggs and other inventory type tools.

Thanks,
Pete

Thanks, but I have access to scads of such inventories and tests, both
hardcopy and online. What I am very interested in connecting with is a
person/group/firm who can administer such tools and interpret their
results responsibly and accurately. A pro, in other words, I guess,
who works with Digital to maximize employee value.

4351.4TP011::KENAHDo we have any peanut butter?Tue Jan 09 1996 11:495
    I suspect they're all long gone -- "perquisite" employees like career
    counselors, on-site healthcare personnel, HR personnel in the same
    time zone, and administrative help were all designated as unnecessary,
    and jettisoned.

    Perhaps you should call someone in Stow (MCS Learning Services)...
    the folks that do Employee Training (Not Customer Training that was
    recentl sold).
    
    Try calling Jim Malanson in Stow or Rob Ayres who is VP of 
    Personnel for MCS which Learning Services falls under.
    
    Good luck.

    .5 said that...Learning Services (The Customer Training piece) has
    been sold.  THe other piece, which is Employee Training, I believe
    has "not been sold".

4351.8Just to make it clear as mud...RDGENG::NOYCEWed Jan 10 1996 12:238
    
    All of Learning Services has been sold, worldwide.  Employee training is
    now the province of D&L which I believe comes under the HR umbrella.

    I work in the Americas Development and Learning organization.  We
    handle employee training for the Americas, and are part of MCS, not HR. 
    Learning Services (or DLS) handled customer training.  Hope this helps.

>who works with Digital to maximize employee value.

Hate to be cynical, but from what I've seen in the last few years,
if the employee isn't valuable, they're gone...

Other than being able to take courses, I see very little help in this
kind of area...

  I agree with -.1: I think your chances of finding this kind of service within
Digital in the U.S. are nil. The challenge is to find someone on the outside
who does this without charging $1500 or more up-front. I think such people
exist, but I wouldn't know how to find them.
4351.13Try a local universityFBEDEV::GLASERThu Jan 11 1996 18:1311
    You may want to try a college or university.
    
    Lots of college students have problems deciding what
    they "really" want to do.  Usually happens when they find
    that quantum physics is not for them.
    
    To keep the students paying tuition, the universities will
    try to match the student with a career tht matches his
    desires/abilities.  I went through that process.
    
    Give it a try, 
4351.14re: .13ICS::BEANAttila the Hun was a LIBERAL!Thu Jan 11 1996 20:515
    so...
    
    did it work?
    
    <grin>
4351.15Sure Did!FBEDEV::GLASERFri Jan 12 1996 11:5114
    In my case it did.  After a few tests and some one on one interviewing,
    the guidance counselor told me that I was good at languages, logic and
    problem solving.  He suggested that I take a philosophy course and a
    computer science course (Fortran and Basic).  Well, I ultimately made
    A's in both courses, learned how to do interactive fortran using a
    DECSystem-10 (KA serial 262) and found a vocation in selling labs.  I
    could get fast turnaround using interactive fortran while the rest of
    my class used cards/batch.  I was having the time of my life.  Lots of
    money for the three Ws.
    
    Unfortunately, the prof found out and gave me a choice: either work for
    the comp center as a programmer or get flunked.  So the rest is
    history.
