Self-Assessment is the process of exploring and identifying your career direction. Career counselors can help you recognize your interests, skills, values, and help you set your career goals. Knowing yourself is the first step necessary in finding a satisfying career.
To help you further identify career areas related to your interest and work styles, the Career Development Center offers the Strong Interest Inventory, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and the Self Directed Search (SDS) free to current students and recent alumni.. Interest surveys will be administered and evaluated by a career counselor in a counseling appointment.. Interest surveys can help you focus more specificly on career areas, occupations, and work environments where you may find job satisfaction. They may confirm those career fields that you have been considering. They will not, however, tell you what you "should" be. Only you can determine that!
Participating in our Workshop "Making Major and Career Decisions" may be helpful as you begin to explore and understand your career interests.
FOCUS - This NEW addition to the career assessments offered by the Career Development Center is an on-line, self-guided tool for career exploration. FOCUS helps you explore your strengths, interests and skills and is a valuable tool as a first step to major and career decision making.
