Introduction

Welcome to your eCareerFit.com Satisfaction Report. It gives results about your:

• Job Satisfaction - your overall evaluation of your current or most recent job.

• Career Satisfaction - how you evaluate your entire sequence of jobs in your working career.

• Life Satisfaction - how happy you are with your life in general.

Like your other eCF Reports, this one gives a graphic overview of your results. The display shows your personal satisfaction on each dimension - illustrated with a [block] symbol in one of the 5 categories between the ends of the dimension. Your scores reflect your relative standing compared to general working adults.

If your [block] appears in the category at the HIGH end of the dimension (5), you scored among the top 15% of the working adult population. A score in next category (4) shows moderately high satisfaction, greater than 65% of working adults. The middle category (3) indicates average satisfaction, higher than 35% of working adults. A moderately low score (2) is among the lowest 35% of working adults. A score at the LOW end (1) places you among the lowest 15% of scorers.

After the graphic display of your results you will find your personalized feedback on the three types of satisfaction.

Job Satisfaction

Your scores place you squarely among employed adults satisfied with their jobs. Your results indicate that, overall, you enjoy your work. You find most features of the job fulfilling. While you may not like everything about your job, you probably look forward to going to work more days than not, and often have a sense of accomplishment at day's end. Along with others who score as you did, you probably feel fairly motivated by the kinds of work your job involves, and remain personally committed to many of your organization's values. You probably find your work meaningful much of the time, and gain some sense of belonging at your workplace. Your job may allow you to meet some goals for personal or professional achievement.

As someone mostly satisfied in your job, you might find yourself able to assist others in achieving satisfaction in their work. As a coach or source of friendly advice, perhaps you can help others learn from your favorable experience.

People who score as you did typically continue to derive similar satisfaction from their job(s) into the future. As your work and organization change, you can work on developing your own skills to match your talents to the emerging job duties. If offered the opportunity to take a substantially different kind of job from what you have known up to now, especially a promotion to a higher rank, take care to evaluate whether its fit will be as good.

Career Satisfaction

Your results indicate that you feel generally satisfied with your career. Your progress has come close enough to what you hoped for, and you see fairly good potential for the future. You seem to have held a series of jobs that matched your preferences and your talents reasonably well overall. While some of your jobs may have fallen short of ideal, you have managed to find positions that let you build on the skills you developed in earlier jobs. In all likelihood, you've made pretty good choices on balance, finding jobs that match your interests and talents. You may know yourself well enough to have identified some of your limitations, which may at times have helped you avoid jobs and assignments incompatible with your personal style. Your choices have apparently helped you meet some of your major career goals and build some of the skills needed for further achievement and advancement.

Your results suggest that you have a fairly well-developed occupational identity. You may have goals for furthering your career in the future. As you look ahead, perhaps you already have a plan for the rest of your career. If not, ask yourself what lies ahead and how your career will best unfold over the next decade.

Having managed a satisfying career so far, you might be in a position to help others to find some of the career satisfaction you have enjoyed. As a supervisor, mentor, or friend, you may be able to assist others in following your example.

People who score as you did typically continue to have fairly satisfying careers. As your work changes and new opportunities arise, your future satisfaction depends on your capacity to continue to make the kinds of career choices that have benefited you up to now.

 Life Satisfaction

Your results indicate below-average life satisfaction, and suggest that you derive less fulfillment and enjoyment from your life than you want. While you feel fairly positive about some parts of your life, you’re disappointed with others. Some parts of your life aren't going well. Perhaps you feel somewhat frustrated with work or you experience disharmony in some of your relationships. Many people who scored as you did have expressed dissatisfaction or disappointment with more than one aspect of life, such as health, career, family, love life, friendships, or finances. You probably know too well what parts of your life need improvement.

You may feel some motivation to change. Some people in your situation find it difficult to overcome inertia and their own resistance to change. Others make a concerted effort to find a better path. Whether you’ve put off trying to improve your situation, or tried without success, it may be time to re-evaluate. An honest appraisal of yourself and your life-situation may reveal a way forward. You might ask help from a close friend or a professional. One place to start concerns your own perceptions. While you’re the best judge of how your life is going these days, you might not see some of the blessings and opportunities that others find in a situation like yours. Has anyone asked you whether you see the glass half-empty instead of half-full? If so, you might find greater satisfaction by adjusting the way you see your life, even if nothing changes. On the other hand, maybe it's time to take action toward change for the better.
