O. Net Interest Profiler Personal Statement

By completing the interest survey, I felt in the position of a student: to have to think on unusual things and understand that they are part of who I am. I realized that I could know a bit more about me. I learned about my favorite food and my favorite singer, which are different from 10 years ago.

I studied various subjects that help me to learn new knowledge. Psychology was one of my favourite subjects, which helped me to understand human behaviour, but also my self. Life science was my passion, I learned the amazing way our body works. It is so incredible how different cells, microorganisms, organs and others are connected together and work together to form what we are. I found Core Skills as a very helpful subjects .I was constantly acquired new skills and develop them such as essay writing, referencing. Health Studies was the subject that I studied for the first time. It was very educational and it has helped me to broaden my knowledge of British Health Care System. OCN English and OCN Maths were both very helpful for me to upgrade my knowledge.

After taking the FOCUS 2 quizzes and completing the worksheet, I learned about a few of my career options. I have already chosen a degree plan, and know what direction I want to go in, but I am not sure of the specifics. The FOCUS 2 Career Exploration Worksheet helped me to discover some of those specifics.

As an educator and advisor, I am very interested in student interest inventories. Working in the classroom, it can be very difficult to assess interest of students when choosing thematic units or classroom project. As a college advisor, I am constantly searching for resources to help my students choose a future career path. I completed research and found three popular interest inventories- the Strong Interest Inventory, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Clifton Strengths Finder. Each of the three assessments analyze the same general theme of interest, personality and career choice. I have analyzed each to determine the best interest inventory to use with my students.

In the role of Chief Executive, the President has two jobs: the Administrator, and the Crisis Manager. As Administrator,

For this research report I was asked to complete two surveys. These surveys were important because they helped me understand what type of career I would enjoy based on my interests and my personality. The first survey I took was the Career

When I began both instruments I was a little concerned about not thinking too hard into the questions as well as how long it was going to take to complete the tests. I was astonished to learn that it was pretty simple and I knew more about myself than originally thought. The work profiler took a little more time because I had to sort through each idea and place them in an importance level, but it was still pretty simple. As I completed the interest profiler I was surprised to learn that I scored higher in the social area instead of the investigative one. I have often considered myself to be more reserved and an avid thinker. I enjoy people but above all else I really value my time to think critically about myself and my job. I always think things through and I am rarely a quick witted thinker because of this.

The Strong Interest Inventory report was an eye opening experience and I received a lot of useful and interesting information concerning what possible careers I might be interested in and my personal work style.

While I was surprised at some of the suggested careers, as previously stated, I can see how certain qualities in each career field would play a role in my current career goal. While have

It is appropriate for those over the age of fourteen, and focuses on the client’s interests with a vast amount of occupations, and includes recreational activities as well (Drummond, Sheperis, & Jones, 2015).The Strong Interest Inventory provides the client with their three highest general occupational themes, out of a possible of six, lists the top five highest and lowest areas of career interest (Drummond, Sheperis, & Jones, 2015).Furthermore, it provides the client with top vocations along with their personal “styles” such as leadership or type of work environment (Drummond, Sheperis, & Jones, 2015). I like this career assessment, because it is a good starting point with a client. Once I have the highest vocational choices, it would be easier to be able to provide direction to a client and to provide them with more information on some of the occupations they have the most interest

I learned how to make the right decisions with confidence,but not unsure or demanding answers. With the decisions I make I know how to say no to tobacco, cigarettes,

I learned about Von Willebrand Disease, what it is, how it is different from Hemophilia, how it affects people both physically and emotionally, some of the daily struggles, and how DNA and genetics are connected with such diseases. Learning facts about my topic allowed me to discover things I have an interest in. For example, learning about how gene mutations can affect one’s life so much inspired me to use my interest in genetics to possibly find a way to cure or make life easier for these patients. Reading about how they struggle day-to-day put things in perspective for me. I realized my personal struggles which I think are the end of the world, aren’t nearly as bad as it could

The occupation that I have selected via the O*Net Interest Profiler is nuclear engineering. I obtained this career by plugging in the top three letters I scored highest on in the personality mosaic, which were Investigative, Conventional and Realistic, in that order. I agreed with the results of the personality mosaic, I presumed that the three terms and their descriptions were predominantly truthful to how I perceived myself. Secondarily, I reasoned that a decent amount of the careers recommended to me through the O*Net Interest Profiler were occupations that I had an interest in, therefore I believe the online profiler did a quality job of helping me determine a career.

On my O-NET results, I am astonished of how my results came close to my previous expectations for my career. The results state I am more of an artistic person than person that investigates. I am not surprised by the fact it displays this information; I admire anything that’s in the art category. Although, this may not change my future career path, I am still willing to go for my dance choreographer career after completing my FBI agent career. I have always wanted to go for dance choreographer, but it is more suitable if I push for my major career then my side choice career.

The results from the interest profiler show that my top areas of interest are investigative and conventional. People with the result of investigative are likely to be a thinker, likely to enjoy observing, learning and evaluating. They are likely to enjoy the challenge of thinking through problems and working on their own. They are also likely to use math and science in problem solving. After evaluating this result, I found it was spot on with my personal traits. I have always thought of myself as a thinker, and I could spend hours alone thinking through different problems and challenges. I also very much enjoy math and science courses. Math and science have always been my best subjects in school, coming very naturally to me. The result of conventional took me by surprise. For a person
