"Carrer Plan"
Each person should take ownership of their own career. Follow the steps below to help you get started.
Go to https://www.123test.com/career-test/ (Links to an external site.)
Once there, you will find a career aptitude test. You will have 15 sets of 4 pictures that you will choose which of the four pictures appeals to you most; which appeals to you least. At the end of the free career test, you will discover your Holland Code.
You will also be provided a list of occupations that match your Holland Code. Many of these you may find interesting. Click on an occupation that you find interesting and read about it. Does it still sound interesting?
On this site, you will see many other assessments available. Many that are valuable and free. Most will ask you to take a brief survey to get the results. That is left up to you if you wish to do so.
Armed with this data from the free career assessment, go to https://online.onetcenter.org/ (Links to an external site.)
From here, paste in an occupation you liked based on your Holland Code and read the description. Do the tasks interest you? Do you currently have the skills and abilities for the occupation? Does it match your work styles? Your values? Does the wage/salary data fit your requirements? What is the occupation growth outlook? Is it promising?
What steps can you take to close the gaps identified?
What is a realistic time frame for closing those gaps? Identify those that can be closed within 1 year, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-10 years.
What barriers will you confront? Time, family obligations, finances? How would you overcome these barriers?
