Find a Career that's Right for You

Your first step is to find a career that matches your skills, interests, and values. You don't want a career that you hate. Let's find something you enjoy that fits your strengths.

​

Identify Your Skills & Interests

You have all the potential in the world. While planning your career may seem daunting, it doesn't need to be stressful. By breaking down the steps, you can make better decisions.  

​

Your first step is to consider what you like to do and what you're good at. For example:

​

  • What do you like to do?

  • What are your hobbies and interests?

  • What are your favorite classes in school?

  • What outside activities do you enjoy?

  • What are you passionate about?

  • What goals do you have? 

​

Brainstorm some answers. It will help in the next parts.

Career Assessments 

Assessments are tools that ask questions to help you learn about yourself. 

​

What Does an Assessment Do?

Assessments identify strengths, skills, interests, values, or other traits and match them to a career that aligns with you.  

​

What Can an Assessment Tell You?

Assessments might tell you what you already know - which will CONFIRM your thoughts.

 

They may also identify careers you haven't considered.  Keep an open mind. 

 

Assessments help you: 

​

  • Understand your strengths (or weaknesses)

  • Learn about careers that match your unique blend of skills

  • Identify areas for improvement

  • Decide whether you need more training

  • Write a more meaningful resume or cover letter

  • Reflect on where to take your career

​

What Won't an Assessment Tell You?

Assessments won't tell you what to do or what will make you happy.  You are in charge of that.
