Search well - search with focus! (photo by basykes)
Howdy ya’ll!
Below are some websites that have been quite useful regarding general “KNOW THYSELF! (to find your real interests and jobs that are related)“ and “career search” efforts and I wanted to share. Please pass this around as you see fit.
[The Awesome Sites]
- I found the “I’m not really sure…” option to be good when you first click over to this site. It has a fun self-assessment thingy that helps locate jobs that match your interests: http://www.mynextmove.org/
- Great job exploring tool – and it’s from Texas! http://www.texascaresonline.com/
- The “Interests Profiler” self-assessment thing at Texas CARES is more in-depth than the “MyNextMove” one: http://www.texascaresonline.com/ip/ipmenu.asp
[Good Sites]
- Good for finding local matches, “related jobs”, and companies that do what you like – if you took the self-assessment from MyNextMove, you can plug in your score values for “better” results: http://www.myskillsmyfuture.org/
- A good source of career information: http://www.onetonline.org/
- Good general repository for joby-type stuffs: http://www.careeronestop.org/
You see, there’s no need to just jump right on in the search to better know thyself without a little bit of focus and direction. Hope it helps in your job / career / self / personality search!
