With the unemployment rate at 7.6 percent, many students and recent graduates wonder where they stand. Instead of feeling lost and uncertain where to turn, gain control of your career and the direction it's going with UpMo, a subscription-based, online career and network management service, “a GPS for careers.”
While other online services like LinkedIn will help professionals build their network, UpMo goes one step further by helping them leverage that network, and guides them on a clear, continuous, and customized path to their career destination.
Using "the latest in Web-based technology, a patent-pending proprietary methodology and deep research into the choices that have led hundreds of high-earning successful professionals to career success," UpMo lets any subscriber tap the career paths and networking habits of real people so they can chart a proven course for themselves.
"Today's economy has shown that hunting jobsites and collecting contacts on LinkedIn still leaves many careers going nowhere and mired in uncertainty," says Promise Phelon, CEO of Upwardly Mobile Inc. "To advance your career in this new marketplace will take a new approach. Recognizing that what's missing from most career plans is direction and strategy, UpMo helps anyone move their career continually upward and forward even when markets crash, companies crumble and jobs disappear.”
Bring control to your career with UpMo in four steps:
1. Take UpMo's Network Readiness Evaluator to score the strength of your network. UpMo's Network Readiness Evaluator will personalize a comprehensive State of Your Network report and Network Readiness Score. The State of Your Network report, is based on thousands of data points and countless hours of original research and interviews by career management experts. It provides an objective assessment of your networking readiness, identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and provides individualized, actionable networking and career best practices that will help professionals maximize their network for lasting career success.
2. Select an UpModel™ to emulate the success of real-life achievers. Browse and choose UpModels to emulate using the UpModel Chooser. UpModels are high-earning professionals who've shared the intimate details of their career development—books they've read, classes they've taken, mistakes they've made and the networking habits they've used to drive success.
3. Map your career using UpMo's Career Mapper. An interactive, clickable map showing you where you are today, where you're headed tomorrow and the key steps you need to take to get there. It’s a graphical representation of your career, showing your actual earnings and your UpModel's earnings, as well as a straight line projection of when you'll reach your career goal. Print it, annotate it and use it to help keep your career on the safe track.
4. Manage your career and network every day. UpMo’s customizable, drill down-able, anytime, anywhere, “x marks the spot” Career Action Plan helps professionals transform their style, goals and aspirations into do-able, everyday actions. Use your regularly updated Career Action Plan to identify landmarks and receive mile-by-mile instructions for how to navigate your career path. On your desktop, online or integrated with Microsoft Outlook or Webmail applications such as Yahoo or Google, UpMo's Career Action Plan helps you develop a regular networking habit by providing defined daily, weekly and monthly career and network development tasks like phone calls, meet-ups, events and e-mails, all based on your network readiness score, networking style and career destination.
