Assignment 99
My Career Anchor is:SENSE of SERVICE/DEDICATION to a CAUSEPeople with a service anchor are characterized as being principally motivated by dedicating their work and sometimes their lives in the service of others. This dedication may take the form of working in a position in which they can directly serve others as counselors, physicians, therapists, nurses, or in the other helping or supportive occupations and professions. Service may also take the form of providing comfort, entertainment, leisure activities, athletic training, personal or business support activities (personal or administrative assistant), or any support service that represents a contribution to others.They may also manifest this dedication through a commitment to the preservation or realization of a set of values that they consider important not only in their own lives but also in the larger world around them. Money is not usually an important motivater for these people. Recognition, along with financial and working support for their work and cause, is far more important and often drives their major activities: public relations, fund raising, and enrolling volunteers.Not everyone with this anchor is dedicated to a charitable cause. For example, a scientist who has a desire to improve the environment may stay in a job only if he or she can work on environmental matters. A personnel manager may be expressing a desire to serve people. An executive assistant may be committed to serving his or her boss, and full-time parenting may be an expression of the service anchor.
