CareerZing.com - About Us
CareerZing enables you to evaluate yourself and the universe of career
possibilities around you. We link you directly with individuals in the fields
that interest you so you can find the one that best suits your personality,
skills, interests and passions. This site is a community where you get answers
to questions that are important to you. In many respects, it is YOU who directs
the content of the site. Our philosophy:
The foundation for career success is like a three-legged stool
- Finding a career you are passionate about
- Finding a career that you have a high aptitude for
- Finding a career that will provide you enough income to lead the lifestyle of your choice.
If you have all three you will never feel like you’ve work a day in your life.
This site was developed by Carol Horner and J. Benton Howie. After almost 50
years of combined experience counseling people through their careers, we
recognize that despite the knowledge we possess, the real experts are the people
who successfully practice their professions each and every day.
