Career Exploration
Online Program—Step One
Self-Assessment…
The assessment links in part one will provide activities to help you learn more
about yourself. Having an understanding of yourself is an important first step
in the Career Exploration Process because the greatest satisfaction and highest
level of achievement in your work will come when what you do is compatible with
who you are. But a word of caution…..Every assessment tool is just that—a
“tool.” You must be careful not to base your decisions solely on the results
gathered from the assessment activities. It’s important that you talk with a
career counselor from the Counseling and Career Development Center located in the
Building C, Room C220. A counselor can help you process the information you
have now gathered about yourself and decide how to apply this to your career
decision.
