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!
