What do you mean by "empowerment"?

Knowledge is best defined as the "capacity for effective action." By collecting, refining and delivering career knowledge to you several times per week, we hope you can feel empowered and increase your ability to take actions that will improve your job performance and career advancement.

What does the portal offer that my current employer is not offering? Do I really need to read more stuff?

Employers usually provide information related to an employee's job or the employer organization or the particular industry or profession involved. The Career Knowledge portal offers multidisciplinary knowledge that goes beyond organizational, professional or industrial boundaries. Specifically, we focus on six key areas of professional development: motivation, training, productivity, leadership, marketing and technology. It only takes about 10-20 minutes to read the new content uploaded several times per week on the Career Knowledge portal.

Is this a place where I can find job opportunities?

There are many job boards on the Internet, and we are not one of them. However, the content on our portal will allow job-seeking professionals and managers to increase the probability that they will land a new job. How? By increasing their professional capabilities and their market value. This being said, our focus is to help people perform better where they currently are. We don't see "job hopping" as a productive activity (unless, of course, a person's boss is intolerable or the current working conditions do not foster career growth).

Will you share or sell my email address to other companies?

Absolutely not! We prefer to be tortured rather than give up your email and your trust.

                                                                                 Back to Top


How often do you update the portal?

Several times per week.

How can you afford to offer free career information?

We use a simple business model where we hope advertising will support this portal.

                                                                                 Back to Top


How did you come to create this portal?

From our market research and strategic brainstorming, we realized that there was a need for a portal offering career-related information, knowledge and resources to professionals and managers who want to advance in their careers. We also realized our complementary skill sets (Peter is a skilled writer while Joe is an experienced project manager) would enable us to confidently undertake this venture.

                                                                                 Back to Top


What do you hope to accomplish with this portal?

We want to gather, in one place, the best career knowledge so as to empower you and enable you, ultimately, to have an amazing career. Every human being deserves to have an amazing career that is rewarding and fulfilling.
