Other Options for Career Exploration

In addition to Focus 2 Career, we have tools such as the Strong Interest Inventory or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which might assist you in determining potential career fields or majors. These assessments use information that you provide about your interests and preferences to identify occupations that are likely to be a good fit for you. A career advisor will meet with you to determine whether an assessment tool could help you with your career or major decision-making, and help you interpret your results.

Self-assessments help you clarify your interests, skills and values so you can find majors and careers best suited for you. But there's no one-size-fits-all solution to planning your future. If you're still feeling lost, just contact us for an individual appointment.
