Career And Interest Self Assessment Results

A global manager is associated with success as an international executive. Dimensions included in this are: general intelligence, business knowledge, interpersonal skills, commitment, courage, cross-cultural competencies, and the ability to learn from experience. My potential for success as a global manager would be on the cusp of being relatively high. In today’s global economy, being a manager often means being a global manager. But, unfortunately, not all managers are able to transfer their skills smoothly from domestic environments to global ones. I believe that I have the ability to accomplish this on a consistent basis.

When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies. I no longer wish to become a teacher. As I grew older I realized that I wanted to do something that has me going to places, seeing new things, speaking with diverse individuals, and for that reason I chose to be involved in Real estate.

In order for me to complete this career assessment paper, I initially took an Interest Inventory survey. Upon completing this process, it revealed that my personality profile score was (I, C, A). These three letters represented my strengths and interests in determining which career field would best suit me.

With the purpose of determining whether my personality, interests, and values meet my premeditated career, I carried out the TypeFocus assessment accessible through Tyler Junior College’s Career Services. First, I created an account with TypeFocus. Secondly I was able to obtain a few tests that would assess my personality, interests, and values. Next, I went forward and completed each test. Each analysis prompted me to answer a series of questions pertaining to the subject of that particular assessment. These questions that I was asked during the assessments were very straight forward, and easy to answer. Then, after completing all of the assessments I continued on to view each of the results. As the assessment taker, I had a choice on how

I am writing in concern of the Focus 2 assessment. This assessment is made up of 5 short questionnaires. Each one of the surveys, consist of roughly eighteen multiple choice questions. These questions all come from personal knowledge as well as personal preferences. Once each assessment is completed, the software gathers the information to compute majors that are most likely in one’s career interest. On personal experience, upon personal completion of the assessment, I was amazed by the outcome of the results. In my work interest assessment I scored high in artistic and low in conventional, these results surprised because I never thought of myself being artistic in ways of poetry, singing, acting, or painting. My personal values were income,

Through my research I have found multiple jobs that interest me, but there are two that stick out the most: Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialist and Psychiatric Technician. Before researching, I had no idea about these jobs, but now I know good deal about them. After researching, I found out in what settings people in these positions work, how much they make on average annually, what their job entitles, what the education requirements are, what the growth rates for these occupations are. The jobs’ settings are very similar, but their salaries and duties are very different. I was able to find that if one just looks at the average, annual wage for each occupation, Psychiatric Technicians make about $28,000 while Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialists make about $34,000. The growth rate for Rehabilitation Counselors, in general, is faster than Psychiatric Technicians, but only by four percent. The overall tasks of each occupation, however, differ greatly from each other.

Based on my survey results I have learned that I want to have a career where I work with technology. The survey was important because it pointed out the direction that I am headed in. It also tells me that some of my strengths are working with technology involving math and science. It also points out to me some of my weaknesses that I need to work on like interpreting, reading, and following directions and figuring out what the directions are asking for. The top career that the survey picked for me was Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In this career, I would be planning and managing scientific research. The second career choice that the survey picked for me was Information Technology. In this career, I would be designing and developing softwares and hardware. I agree with the results of the survey because even though I have several strengths I still have things I could get better at. I also agree with the survey because the top careers that the survey picked for me were the career clusters that I thought I would get in the beginning.

I received a score of four on the Realistic scale, a score of eleven on the Investigative scale, and a score of nineteen on the artistic scale. I got a score of twenty-six on both the Social and Enterprising scale and a score of two on the Conventional scale. I was slightly surprised by the results because I did not think I would receive such a high score on the artistic scale. I have never viewed myself as a creative person before so it was interesting to see myself receive that result. I anticipated the Social, Enterprising, and Investigative scale would have been my highest three scales. I chose the future job zone, within that I chose an extensive job preparation. My reason for choosing an extensive job preparation is because I wanted to make the exercise/activity as realistic as possible. I see myself going into a graduate program after graduating from the University of Maryland and I wanted to observe potential careers and examine the results.

The My Plan (2016) assessments is a program that examines your career interest. This is determined by taking several assessments on your personality, interests, skills, and values. Based on my personality report, it indicated my personality type is ESTJ ( extroverted, sensor, thinker and judger). Some words used to describe me based on my personality report are social, patient, thoughtful and in control. On the My Plan (2016) my personal interest top two were investigative and social. My Plan (2016) concluded that I would work well with others and like communicating with others. Ultimately, I would agree that these results are correct and correlate well with the career I am going to pursue as a dental hygienist. Prior to taking the My Plan (2016) assessments I was undecided about wether I wanted to pursue my career as a dental hygienist or a registered nurse. Now I am confident about what I choose to do, because it is something that I have always been interested about and it is something I would actually enjoy doing.

I have performed similar quizzes in the past and each have had similar results to the Holland Career Assessment. I have began to seriously consider going into politics after my time in the Navy is through. I want to have a positive impact on people around me and each of the jobs I have chosen can do just that. This kind of tool is great way to narrow different degree paths for potential college students and the earlier this kind of assessment is performed, the better. A young person can begin to tailor jobs or apprenticeships in different areas to eliminate careers that are not interesting. An adult can do the same thing when changing careers to find a new career that matches his or her personality. It is also important to know the different

After taking career assessments including the “Myers Briggs Type Indicator” which have helped me explore my career options from my personality, I have come to the conclusions with a family lawyer. It was hard to believe that some quiz was going to help me find a career that I would actually take an interest in up until I actually read the results. I had difficulty choosing just one. My options varied from ‘dentist’ to ‘cook’ but lawyer really caught my attention. Lawyers must be creative while problem solving and persistent which are two qualities I would say I have. A lawyer is the the perfect job because it requires

Every human being has ambitions in their lives and succeeding in their goals.

Walking into the Career Fair hall, I was suddenly astounded by the power in the room. Everyone from the CIA and the FBI to the top technology companies were amassed in one place, all eager to speak to George Mason Students. Students dressed to the T, all filled with nervous energy, their hopes and dreams possible fulfilled right in front of their eyes. I was not among these technology geniuses, nor did I fulfill the requirements for a job at a government agency.

Career assessments are very beneficial when an individual is trying to determine what career path they may be wanting to take. Sometimes new information will become apparent and other times information that is already known to that individual will just be simply solidified. It is important to answer the questions as accurately to oneself as possible. My personal results only reassured me of what I already knew.

I have given a great deal of thought to the next leg of my academic and career journey. As I reflect on the road I've taken to get this far, I realize that I have not only learned a lot there were many late night papers, team projects and plenty of reading I have also grown a great deal on a personal level. I think that the best part of reaching this juncture is the realization that I set a goal and achieved it. It is a good feeling of personal triumph. I know that once my degree is officially completed and conferred it will be an accomplishment that can never be taken away.
