Samantha’s Answer

Nezaria,

Many careers could be right for you.

For example, I am in the tax accounting field and we are constantly working as a team and pushing each other to reach our goals of getting the finished product to our client on time. We also constantly encourage one another to learn new things and are big supporters of one another.

However, there are other careers that could work for you too. Do you like children? Teaching may be a good option because as a teacher, it is your job to get the children in your class to understand the material and have those children succeed. During this process, you are constantly cheering on children when they do a good job. Additionally children can be very thankful to many teachers.

Ultimately, I think most jobs take some type of team work and as long as you join a good team, there will be cheering that you are looking for!

Hope this helps!

Ken’s Answer


Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many .

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The first step is to take an interest and aptitude test and have it interpreted by your school counselor to see if you share the personality traits necessary to enter the field. You might want to do this again upon entry into college, as the interpretation might differ slightly due to the course offering of the school. However, do not wait until entering college, as the information from the test will help to determine the courses that you take in high school. Too many students, due to poor planning, end up paying for courses in college which they could have taken for free in high school.
Next, when you have the results of the testing, talk to the person at your high school and college who tracks and works with graduates to arrange to talk to, visit, and possibly shadow people doing what you think that you might want to do, so that you can get know what they are doing and how they got there.

Locate and attend meetings of professional associations to which people who are doing what you think that you want to do belong, so that you can get their advice. These associations may offer or know of intern, coop, shadowing, and scholarship opportunities. These associations are the means whereby the professionals keep abreast of their career area following college and advance in their career.

It is very important to express your appreciation to those who help you along the way to be able to continue to receive helpful information and to create important networking contacts along the way.
