The second biggest mistake you can make in planning your career is to spend time and money  on training and education before deciding why  you are about to do what you are about to do.

The biggest mistake is to let someone else decide for you.

Employment Agencies throughout British Columbia have been using The Implicit Career Search to help their clients develop comprehensive career plans based on the contribution they wish to make through their work.  Studies, research and follow-up have shown this approach to be amazingly effective in helping their clients attain long-term employment.

The Implicit Career Search is even more effective when complemented by other government programs such as:

• Entrepreneurial Assistance (i.e. Community Futures)
  
• Wage-subsidy programs
  
• Training programs

These programs and agencies report that participants coming to them with a Career Development Profile from The Implicit Career Search are:

• Intrinsically motivated
  
• Highly Focussed
  
• Excellent team players
  
• Self-reliant 
  

"Steve Miller has created an amazing gift in the Implicit Career Search. It continues to be my highest pleasure to share that gift to others. The interest in our program is growing at a rapid rate and there are always twice as many applicants as there are seats available. Participants travel from well outside of the community and have even come from other provinces for this unique and effective approach.

The Implicit Career Search offers nothing short of a major paradigm shift in the field of career counselling. The methods and framework provided, promote self-awareness, personal responsibility, and ignite participants’ innate desire to contribute to society in healthy, productive ways." -- Sharon Clarke, Program Director, North Shore Compass Employment Agency, North Vancouver, BC
