Choosing The Career Test

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.

Myers and Briggs created a personality test that not only will help people to figure out their personality types, but at the same time it aids in the discovery of which career pathways people should take based on their specific personality traits. Based on the personality trait INFP that was given to me from the Myer-Briggs test I have quite a few career pathways that fit my personality. Some of the career choices suited to my personality is a writer, counselor, teacher/professor, psychologist, psychiatrist, musician, or a religious worker; which seems like a pretty broad selection. Although there is a broad selection of careers that would suit my personality none of which are the career path that I have chosen; which is to become a physical therapist, but if I was not set on a goal some of these career ideas would not seem too bad. While reading the list of jobs suited for my personality I was surprised to see that psychologist was on the list because before I decided to go for physical therapy I wanted to pursue a career in that exact field. As for most of the other fields mentioned above I

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.

The objective of this survey was to find out what basic skills you have and what career needs the skills you have. In my opinion, I do not think this survey was completely accurate. One of the careers that matched my skills were an Air Crew Member which I would not like to pursue as a career because that is a job that you have to be extremely fearless for although I am not afraid of many things I am not fearless enough to be a part of the Military. Some of the jobs I found dreadful such as being a Travel Guide, Hotel/Motel Clerk and, Bus Driver. Although I didn’t like the majority of the jobs the jobs the survey suggested there were some jobs that I would not mind to do even though they would not be my first choice were a Credit Analyst, Real Estate Appraiser and, Insurance Underwriter. Even though there was a few jobs I thought seemed interesting, I still do not want to do them because I know that I want to do something fashion related such as Fashion Marketing or being a Fashion Trend

After doing the personality tests on Indiana Career Explorer, the tests gave me a couple of examples of fields I would be successful in, it told me what values may be important to me in a workplace environment. I feel these assessments were spot on and I have more confidence in my ability to be successful in my career choice.

After completing CareerLeader, I am surprised that in my interest besides influencing others my next highest interest, quantitative analysis, was in the 44th percentile. I did not think that my next highest interest would be so low compared to my first interest which was in the 91st percentile. I was also surprised how low most of my skills scored. I only had one key skill and I thought more would score higher. I was not surprised about what my top two career matches, law and finances in a corporate setting, because that’s what I think I want to do. I would like to either be a sports agent or work with a sports team with their finances. I also was not surprised about what my top interest was given my career match. I also was not surprised with my top two motivators, security and positing, because my dad always told me to be secured in my finances and because I have also learned better by watching someone do what is needed to be done. Overall I was not that surprised with the overall results because they were what I expected them to state.

Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2015) states that all nurses should be competent at carrying out an accurate assessment on patients of all ages safely using invasive and non-invasive procedures. Benner (1982) formed the stages of competency: Novice; this is where I started in year one, I had never done a manual blood pressure before and lacked confidence. Advanced beginner; this is where I feel I am at present, I can take a manual blood pressure with occasional supportive cues, I am more confident than the first time and my knowledge is improving. Competent; this is the stage I expect to be at when I qualify, I would like to feel confident and I intend to know exactly what I am doing and why. Proficient; this is where I expect to be

Admittedly, receiving my Myers-Briggs report I felt a little disheartened from the result. When I observed to the career report I saw a flood of occupations I had never before considered or even knew existed but despite that I decided to look into them.

I am surprised that an online test can be so accurate, I think it did a really good job describing my work personality. I even liked all of the occupation suggestions that were given to me. The number one job on my top ten list is an Accountant, which is what my major is. I’m eager to learn more about accounting because it fits my results so well, I was clearly born to be an accountant. I also think accounting is interesting because there are so many different types of accounting and accountants and I’d like to learn more about them. So many people just picture it to be a boring desk job but it can be so much more than that. Another job that is listed that I’d be interested in learning more about is an auditor. I don’t know too much about it, but I know they deal with fraud and investigating and things of that nature. I’m a really nosey person and I would love doing that kind of stuff. However, maybe I am totally off about the kind of work they do. All in all, I’d really like to learn about a lot of different occupations that you can work with when you have an Accounting

Taking the personality test I was nervous to see what my results would be. I have taken many challenges like this before, ever since I was in middle school until now. My results came back pretty similar to the results and careers I’m interested in. The specific traits behind a career for an

For this research project I had to take two surveys. They were important because the told me things that I knew about myself and also some things I didn’t know, so it helped put me in the right direction to find out my career. The results I got back from the career cluster survey online

The career pathway test that we took, made me realize that I have a lot more options for a career than I had been aware of previously. I may not go into any of them, but just knowing that I have other options makes me feel safe enough to ever consider changing my major. Even though the first career option may not be accurate for what I want to do, the other choices provided can get you thinking about other

My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families

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.
