Job Search Attitude Inventory

FREE Administrator's Guide available for download here

A person's attitude when looking for a job is the most important part of finding employment. The JSAI helps individuals identify their key attitudes about looking for a job and consider suggestions for becoming more active and self-directed in the job search. The JSAI asks job seekers whether they agree or disagree with 32 statements about the job search process. Job seekers then place their scores on a graphic profile of four attitude categories: luck vs. planning, uninvolved vs. involved, help from others vs. self-help, and passive vs. active. The JSAI is especially helpful for determining and improving an individual's motivation to find a job. Use the JSAI before the job search process or during a stalled or slow job search. Works under the premise that attitude is everything.

How it Works

The assessment rates the individual’s beliefs about job search strategy and philosophy, asking them if they strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with a series of 32 statements. Based on a numerical ranking, individuals then assess their attitudes, or profiles, in four categories: Luck vs. Planning, Uninvolved vs. Involved, Help from Others vs. Self-Help, and Passive vs. Active. Each of these “scales” correlates to how self-directed the responder is in his or her job search. From their rankings on each scale, individuals can pinpoint which specific attitudes might be acting as barriers to an effective job search. Suggestions for improving the job-search attitude correlate directly to those areas that need adjustment.
