Career & Self-Assessments

Making a major or career decision involves asking yourself a number of self-reflecting questions. Key and poignant questions can help determine what motivates you, where your skills or potential lay, and what you want out of life. This process is called a career- or self-assessment. The outcomes of these assessments can be quite enlightening and are designed to help you choose a career or major that best suits you as an individual.

Career Coach

What are your top three traits? How about your top career matches? Career Coach will help you with these answers and much more:

  • Discover majors and in-demand careers based on your interests.
  • Take a career assessment.
  • Explore career salaries.
  • Build your résumé.
  • Find the LPC Programs to get you to your goals.

Myers & Briggs Personality Type

  • http://www.myersbriggs.org/type-use-for-everyday-life/personality-and-careers/

Knowing your personality type, as measured through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument, can help you both in your choosing a major or career but also once you’re on the job.  The Tri-Valley Career Center can administer the shorter version free of charge to students and clients.

Strong Interest Inventory

  • https://www.cpp.com/products/strong/index.aspx

You can choose a major and career direction that matches your inherent interests. The complete Strong Interest Inventory should be given and interpreted by a career counselor. Contact the Tri-Valley Career Center for an appointment. Alternatively, there is a shorter version for self-interpretation for a small fee.

Self-Directed Search

  • http://www.self-directed-search.com/

The Self-Directed Search (SDS) asks questions about your aspirations, activities, competencies, and level of interest in different occupations. From the responses, the SDS generates a code used to help you find your educational and occupational matches. Contact the Tri-Valley Career Center for an appointment. Alternatively, there is a shorter version for self-interpretation for a small fee.
