Researching career options written assignment - Coggle Diagram

- - - - I took this assessment a few times, and arbitrator came up as my top career choice each time. I had a score of 23 for realistic, 17 for investigative, 21 for artistic, 35 for social, 34 for enterprising, and 25 for conventional. This means I like working with and helping others the most. I also like to start business projects and take risks for profits, but to follow procedures and have a clear set of rules to go by. I chose job zone 5 initially because I want to see jobs I could have if I keep going with my education and keep on working towards higher earning, more important positions. Some other careers on the list for me for ob zone 5 were clinical nurse specialists, medical and health services managers, and adapted phys ed specialists. These careers had a symbol next to them meaning they are projected to grow. At job zone 4, I had credit counselors. I am listing the jobs that stood out to me. I also had equal opportunity reps and advisors, and HR reps. Social worker is on this list as well, but not as a best fit. For job zone 3, I had concierges and flight attendants. Job zone 2 was food servers, farm hands, crossing guards, and one was baristas.
    - - Some of the results were surprising. I was surprised to see myself more towards business types of careers, but I was not surprised to see all the education related careers that came up for me, as I work in a school. I am a waitress, so none of the service positions surprised me either. I was especially surprised to see anything in healthcare, and never have considered a career in healthcare.
    - - I have a hard time finding ideas for different jobs I could get, so it was nice to see what I could do with what I am pursuing. I could study almost anything then decide to teach it, if I wanted to. I was looking at becoming a life coach recently because I can get a certification to do it, then practice it as a business privately. But I also want to be a social worker. I think I want to have a lot of jobs and a broad career.
    - - Yes, because I have more ideas for jobs I can look into now, and it made me think about what I can do with my skills and how I can make my skills best work in my interest.
  - - - This survey asked you to sort 20 cards with statements into how important they were to you at work onto a grid. This is used to determine which needs are greater for the individual taking the assessment. These are based on 6 core work values; achievement, relationships, working conditions, recognition, support, and independence. This assessment said my top match for a career would be a financial analyst or a nuclear engineer.
    - - Yes, this was surprising. I think this is a bit different of an assessment int hat it asks you about the work environment you would like rather than the skills you would enjoy performing. Computer network architect was also on the lists, as were many computer based careers, which has been an interest of mine for a while but only really as a hobby. Many different engineering careers came up on my career match report. Telemarketer was the worst career match I had.
    - - No, the job I have is in a school as a paraprofessional. I work in a special ed program for behavioral problems. I expected many careers in social services, but my results for this assessment showed me many careers in the engineering field.
    - - This might influence my business plans for the future. I want to have a "normal" job, but I have plans to open a business someday. I'm just not sure yet what I want to do.
