Narrowing Career Options

by jennifer
January 11, 2013

In this step, you will work through a series of exercises to narrow down your career options.  Before you start, print out each of the attachments.

On Attachment B, categorize the ings into one of the three categories as indicated.  Next complete the surveys in Attachments C, D, and E.

Now that you have indicated your specific interests, complete the exercises in Attachments F, G, and H.

The final step is to put each of the exercises together in Attachment I. The ings that have the highest composite score are those that are most likely to lead to the career options you want to consider further.

Make a copy of Attachment I, because this will be used in the next topic.

Attachment A

Attachment B

Attachment C

Attachment D

Attachment E

Attachment F

Attachment G

Attachment H

Attachment I.

Testimonials

  • The biggest improvement I have made this semester has got to be my study habits.  This semester I made it my goal to study more and work harder in school.  I have kept pretty well to my word up till now and I hope I can continue to do so.  Another improvement that I have made this semester that I'm not too proud to say is not going out during the week.  Along with studying, I also made this my goal.  My dad always told me work comes before play, it's such a simple quote, but it's the truth.  If I plan on doing well this semester, I am going to have to limit my "play" to the weekends and work hard during the week.  With both of my improvements being said, it's likely that my grades are going to improve greatly.  I need to have self-discipline in order to complete my goals until the semester is over.  Discipline is something I lack and I also hope to improve as I make good habits in regards to my studies..
