and activities you enjoy doing, as well as what motivates and satisfies you at work. Certain personality
traits and characteristics are associated with each career type.

Because you have a secondary interest in Creating, you will be interested in using your creative talents and
expressing yourself artistically through your work. You are tuned into aesthetics and seek work that allows
you to connect with sensory experiences. You may enjoy art, music, drama, architecture, or literature, and
like work that allows you to feel an element of your own creative expression. You value activities that allow
you to use your imagination.

To satisfy your interest in Creating, look for a career that allows you a some freedom to express yourself.
You will be happiest when you can imagine, envision, experiment, and create. You are interested in
developing your own unique point of view and putting your personal spin on what you do.

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 di!erent 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
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.
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.

S AT I S F Y I N G Y O U R C O R E N E E D S
An ideal career should satisfy your most fundamental motivations to work. Although everyone wants to
feel a sense of purpose, we all di!er 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 di!erent
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 organizational skills to maintain rational, orderly systems

Work within rules and expectations
Follow clear processes to achieve measured outcomes
Ensure correct and accurate results

D O I N G TA S K S A N D A C T I V I T I E S T H AT S U I T Y O U
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
you understand what the everyday tasks of that job entail, and compare these tasks with your preferred
tasks listed below.

Your Preferred Tasks:

Managing data, files, or other forms of information

Keeping things in order
Developing organizational systems
Following clear procedures
Ensuring accuracy and correctness
Maintaining e"cient and well-ordered processes

AV O I D I N G W H AT Y O U D O N ' T L I K E
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:

Working with tools or machines

Working with plants or animals
Repairing or maintaining things, especially mechanical systems
Building, constructing, or crafting things
Being athletic or physical
Making something tangible, practical and useful

A S K I N G T H E I M P O R TA N T Q U E S T I O N S
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 use my organizational skills?

Will I be able to identify and follow clear processes and procedures in this career?
Will I be working with orderly, logical systems in this career?
Will my success in this career depend on my accuracy, correctness, and ability to follow specific
instructions?

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 o! 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-o! 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!
