2. Consider Your Skills and Personality
What are you good at? Develop a list of 10 of your strengths. Ask your friends and family for feedback, too! You don’t need to have the skills required for a particular job right now.
Consider things such as:
- Are you willing to complete the educational requirements for the job?
- Are you physically capable (lifting, climbing, standing) of doing the job?
- Does your personality align with the job?
3. Research Careers
Watch some of the Career Videos on this site, starting with some of those that appear in the results of the quiz. Consider how these match up with your skills and your willingness to do what it takes to prepare for this career.
Don’t think that you are limited to careers listed in your quiz results!
Consider things such as:
- Are you willing to work in the environment required for the job? (inside vs.outside, number of hours/days required each week, alone vs. teamwork, travel vs. no travel, casual vs. business attire, etc.)
- Are there opportunities for this career in the area in which you would like to live?
4. Ask Questions!
Attend a webinar and ask questions of those who are working in a career that interests you.
