after answering these questions, results are given. The results will be discussed base on if the

The following are the categories and results. The results are what careers that are
suitable for me base on the questions I answered.
1. Material Recording, Scheduling, Dispatching, and distributing workers:
The result is is a freight forwarder.
2. Secretaries and administrate assistants
In this category, I have two careers the first one is an executive assistant, and the second
is a legal secretary.

I have nine results, but I will give only a few. Here are some of the results:
Accounts Payable/Receivable Manager, Collections Manager, Accounting
Supervisor Payroll Manager.

CAREER PLAN BUILDING PLAN ACTIVITY: CAREER

In the most part, the results did fit in my career path. Before going any further, I would like
to define what my career is. I would like a career in accounting or business administration with
contraction in finance.
The reason the result fit into my career path is that all the results deals with accounting.
Example is I can be a payroll manager or an accounting supervisor. There are results that in my
opinion have nothing to do with accounting. Example of this is a freight forwarder.
Were you surprised by the results? Why or Why not?
Somewhat. The results surprise me the most are freight forwarder, executive assistant and
legal secretary. I cannot see or understand what these type of jobs have to do with accounting or
business administration.
In general, the result do fit into my career path. Some of the results, in my opinion, do not fit.
The career profiler did give a wide range of careers I can do. In the most part, the profiler results
are in line with my chosen career path.
