Know Yourself:
The first step in career exploration is understanding yourself. You will want to find
a career that is a good match for you and your interests, skills, personality, and
values.
- Interests – Interests are what you like to do and what you like to learn about.
- Skills – Skills are what you are good at and have some natural abilities.
- Values – Values are what is important to you both in your life and in your future work.
- Personality – Personality is what you are like when you are completely “yourself”. You get more energy for work, when you are using your own preferences.
Choosing a Major Workshop: Take a career assessment with a Counselor in a small group setting with other students
who are asking similar questions about their major and career. This is an excellent
first step!
Just for fun, take an Interest Profiler Assessment right now and print your results at the end. Then make a counseling appointment to discuss your
results further.
Take a Counseling Class to have more time to think about your career and life direction.
