Careers to Explore
In this section, we'll show you the top careers that match your interest profile. There are a few things to keep in
mind as you read over these career suggestions:
1. These career titles are just a starting point. The careers listed here are among the most commonly found in the
labor market and are careers that many people will recognize, like lawyer or physician. However, many people have
jobs that don't exactly fit any of the descriptions listed here. You might end up with a job that combines several of
these typical roles. You might have a job that's specific to one company or industry. Or you might invent a new
career altogether! In short, do not limit your imagination to the jobs listed here. These are a representative sample
of jobs that fit your personality, but they do not cover every possibility or opportunity that you will come across in
your career path.
2. Your individuality is key. The careers in this section are listed generally by how well they fit your interest profile.
However, you should not assume that the first career on the list is the best career for you, that the second career
listed is the second-best, and so on. You may find careers that spark your interest anywhere on this list. You may
also see several careers that do not interest you at all. This is normal and does not mean that your results are not
accurate! Everyone is unique, and even someone with an identical interest profile to yours will have different
inclinations, passions, and preferences. So while this assessment can point you in the right general direction and
give you some good ideas to get started, the ultimate choice of your best career will be up to you.
3. Ultimately, the choice is yours. Because no assessment can tell you exactly which career will be perfect for you,
the best way to think of this list is as a starting point for your career research. You can use this list to get ideas of
careers that may suit you, but you'll still need to read more about each career that interests you, do real-world
research (like interviewing or shadowing people in the field), and evaluate each career according to your own
personal criteria. We'll discuss this in more detail later in your report, but for now, just read over this list with an
open mind. See if any career ideas stand out as particularly interesting, and which seem worthy of further
inspection.
With that in mind, let's look at some careers!

Choosing the Right Career
Now that you’ve reviewed some possible careers, you may be wondering where to go next. Perhaps your list of
suggested careers seems overwhelming and confusing. Perhaps you saw some career ideas that sounded
interesting, but you’re not sure how to proceed, or how to decide which is really best for you. This section is
designed to give you a roadmap that you can use to navigate forward as you explore your career possibilities.
As you continue in your career search, it will be crucial that you have a system for evaluating your opportunities.
You need a well-defined approach to looking at various careers and deciding whether they are worth further
exploration. You’ve already taken the first step by assessing your interests, but now the task is to take that self-
knowledge and translate it into a game plan for exploring your career options.
The first step is to clearly understand your criteria for the career path you seek. You don’t need to know exactly
which career is right for you, but you do need to know what you are looking for. You must understand the factors
which are more important to your happiness and satisfaction in a career. Equally, you must understand the
aspects of a career that you want to avoid, so that you don’t end up in a job that frequently requires you to do
things that are not a good fit.
This section will suggest some criteria that you may want to use as part of your career exploration process. These
are based on your interest profile, but you will probably find that some of the suggested criteria seem more
relevant to you than others. You may also find that you want to add to what is given here. Use these suggestions
as a starting point to build your own system of evaluating possible careers.
What Makes Your Ideal Career?

In choosing a career, you want to be mindful of the factors that are most important to you. Many of these factors
will be based on your interests and personality, but some will be unique to you. This section will provide you with
some guidance in the factors that may be important to you in your career search.
Satisfying your core needs
An ideal career should satisfy your most fundamental motivations to work. Although everyone wants to feel a
sense of purpose, we all differ in how we like to feel that we contribute. To understand what sort of career will be
satisfying, you must understand the factors that create satisfaction for you.
Below, you will see a list of the factors that are most likely to be important to you in a career. Generally, if a career
has all or most of these factors, you will find the day-to-day work satisfying. As you explore different careers, you
can use this list as a sort of checklist for each potential career. The more closely a career seems to fit your list of
core needs, the more likely you'll be happy with it in the long term.
Your Core Needs:
• Use my creative talents to do something original and unique to me

• Express my ideas, feelings and experiences
• Experience my senses through art, design, music, drama, or other aesthetic media
• Follow my inspiration to create what is authentic to me
Doing tasks and activities that suit you
One of the most important aspects of job satisfaction is the extent to which your daily work fits with your preferred
types of activities. Although this may seem obvious, it can be easy to overlook the mundane day-to-day aspects of
a job that sounds exciting in the abstract. Before you decide a job is right for you, be sure you understand what the
everyday tasks of that job entail, and compare these tasks with your preferred tasks listed below.
Your Preferred Tasks:
• Working with forms, colors, patterns, or other visual elements

• Working with aesthetic or expressive media like dance, music, or drama
• Creating a visually appealing presentation or design
• Coming up with an original idea with few or no guidelines to follow
• Working on what inspires you at the moment, rather than a predetermined task
• Being imaginative, creative, and original
Avoiding what you don't like
Almost as important as understanding what tasks you enjoy is understanding which tasks and activites you would
prefer to avoid. If some parts of a job are very appealing to you, but other aspects are boring, irritating, or
otherwise unpleasant, it's unlikely you'll be happy in that job over the long term.
For each career you're considering, take stock of the typical daily activities and make sure that you will not have to
spend significant time on tasks you don't enjoy. Although nobody has a job that they love all the time, it is
important to avoid career paths that require a lot of time spent on activities that you simply aren't suited to.
Tasks to Avoid:
• Caring for others’ personal needs

• Educating or training people
• Counseling people on their personal issues
• Looking after vulnerable people, including the sick, very young, or very old
• Helping others grow and develop
• Being supportive and sympathetic
Asking the important questions
As you explore careers, you will be asking many questions. You are probably already wondering about common
concerns, like how much money you might make, how much education or training you will need, or how easy it
might be to find a job in a particular field.
But it’s also important that you ask questions that are personal to you and your interests. These questions will help
you dial in to the careers that will suit your personality. Here, we suggest some questions that you may want to ask
about each career you are seriously considering.
You might answer these questions by doing research online, in books, magazines, or trade journals, or by
interviewing people in the field. You may find that the answers to some questions are not a clear “yes” or “no,” and
that’s fine. The goal is not to get black-and-white answers to every question, but to gain a better and more
complete understanding of whether a career is a good fit for you.
Your Key Questions:
• Will this career allow me to come up with my own unique and original way of doing things?
• Will this career allow me to be authentic and true to myself on the job?
• Does this career take advantage of my creative talents?
• Will this career put me in environments which are aesthetically pleasing and stimulating to the senses?
The Next Step

You've just made an excellent start to your career search process by exploring your interests, talents, preferences,
and values. Give yourself a pat on the back!
Although choosing a career isn't an easy process, it can be an incredibly rewarding one when done right. By doing
an objective assessment of who you are and what you are suited to, you've already gotten off to a huge head start.
You've digested a lot of information, so take a while to sit with it. When you're ready, come back to your list of
careers and pick out the ones that sound most appealing. Click on the "Read more" link next to each of these
careers to learn more about them. Use this as a jumping-off point to begin your own research.
You have plenty of work ahead of you to find your ideal career, but you should now feel well prepared to get
started. We wish you the best of luck in your search!
