The JSI – Job Seeking Index assesses the fear of self-promotion in job seekers. Based on the same research that produced SPQ GOLD®, discover what might be keeping you from making as many contacts as you should.

The JSI – Job Seeking Index was developed as an extension of Inhibited Social Contact Initiation Syndrome (ISCIS), work done by Dudley & Goodson. During the past 30 years, research (involved more than 500,000 individuals) identified many common conflicts, hesitations and fears associated with making first contact related to career advancement purposes.

Natural self-promoters instinctively exploit opportunities to make themselves visible. For most people, however, visibility management triggers an emotional struggle between their desire to make their competence visible, and their reticence to appear too forward or immodest. Yet in today’s hotly competitive business environment, it’s not enough to be good at what you do, earning what you’re worth takes more. You have to practice “visibility management,” letting people know who you are and what you do well.

Managing visibility is an integral component of modern career management.
