Offering a Little Direction

Do you commonly hear your clients let off a little steam when it comes to their income and career choices? As a tax professional with your clients’ best interests in mind, it might be worth offering a solution to their problem.

Think back. You probably didn’t choose your career so you’d have the summers off or because you were actually seeking a high-stress career. How did you choose to be a tax professional? Now there is an online tool to help everyone determine their career direction. And now you can offer this tool as a service to benefit your clients.

Point them towards Career Direct. Career Direct does more than find them their next job - it allows them to maximize their effectiveness in work and life. The Career Direct process begins with an online assessment that focuses on all four aspects of career selection: personality, interests, skills, and values. Your client, or perhaps their children, can use this assessment to make intelligent career choices.

It works. Over 120,000 students and adults have participated in the online assessments offered by Career Direct. If your clients are looking for direction, invite them to visit www.careerdirectonline.org. Remind them that if their children determine a career direction NOW that fits, THEY might save on college tuition.

Every additional service you offer, even if it’s free advice, helps your clients know you care, and they'll keep coming back to you year after year.
