The O*Net assessment is designed to help students explore the school-to-work transition and help workers consider and plan career options, preparation, and transitions more effectively. Based on my O*Net assessment, my interest results have determined I’m realistic 27, investigative 35, and conventional 29. The first interest result involves realistic people, hence those who have interests that include practical, hands-on problems and answers. According to the results, realistic people do not like careers that involve paperwork or working closely with other. However, I don’t completely agree with these results. Although, I don’t like involving much paperwork, I do consider myself a team player, as I like working closely with other people. For …show more content…
The second interest result involves investigative people, thus those who like work that has to do with ideas and thinking, rather than physical activity or leading people. Again, I would have to slightly disagree with these results, as I’m a person who likes to see people succeed and often times find myself guiding others to complete a task. I engage others to break down their ideas into parts, in order to solve a problem and follow-through. The third interest result involves conventional people, thus those that pay attention to detail and follow a set of procedures and routine, rather than working with their own ideas. I’d have to agree with this assessment, as I find myself forming a set of procedures or falling into a routine at work, in order to avoid gazing over vital detail. However, I do bring my ideas to the table when I find a project can be handled differently. For example, the instance when I created a fraud report that would automatically monitor suspicious activity on Rewards accounts. Another piece of the assessment that I liked was it provided me with careers that fit my interests and preparation levels
The setting in both Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone contributes to the dehumanization of the characters in each of the readings. The settings are both isolated, which is the cause of all the chaos that takes place because when you take a human being out of the comfort of society, they go back to their natural animalistic tendencies in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is present in these quotes. Also, the island archetype plays a huge role in both of the stories.

One assessment cannot accurately gauge what a person should do for the remainder of his or her life. The suggested occupations from the FOCUS 2 assessment for me are not occupations in which I have a true interest. Even though I possess the skills that would help me have a successful career in that type of field, I feel like I would be bored and unhappy in such a career. The results of my career assessment proved interesting, but did not change the degree I plan to complete at Liberty

I have trained for the past four years to gain muscle mass so that I can enter bodybuilding competitions and win them. I have not entered any competition yet but I will be competing when my body-weight reaches 80kg, 10% body fat. But right now the goal is to gain muscle mass. It has been really tough eating clean and working hard in the gym day-in day-out. Initially, it was difficult to figure out what foods to eat and what was good for my digestive system and how many calories I was consuming each day. I ignored this tracking process for the first two years but after reading articles on the internet about the importance of tracking my workouts as well as my daily Macronutrient intake, I started the tracking process. This process really helped me in knowing my body.

Research My first research experience took place from the Fall 2012 – Summer 2013 in a neurobiology laboratory (Dr. Daniel Plas) focused on Parkinson’s Disease. In this project an undergrad student and I were tasked with optimizing a cellular medium for neural growth of the model organism Lymnaea stagnalis. This was comprised of following established protocols and altering certain variables within the formulas (differing concentrations of ions, pH, et al.) to observe growth pattern differences in vitro.
Ultimately, this class helped me gauge and find a suitable career path, which will forever shape my future. Self-Exploration Over the course of this semester, I have learned a tremendous amount of information about myself from the self-exploration series.

The first step of career management process is self-assessment. Self-assessment is refers to the employees using some information that help them to decide which career they really interested to pursue, ability, skills, and behavioural tendencies. According to Allen (2005), self-assessment is a process to identify skills, abilities, knowledge of the employees. During this step, the employees need to do some tests such as the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and the Self-Directed Search. The tests help the employees to identify the value of work that they place on their work and also leisure activities. Self-assessment is also involved with some exercises which able the employees to identify their career future plan, where are they for now and also how their career match with the current situation and resource that available (Noe, 2010). After done with the exercises, career counsellors usually used to assist the employee in their self-assessment process and also provide explanation about their result of psychology tests. Then the employees assess their current skills and abilities and also capabilities they are lacking with some informa...

Holland’s theory of vocational personalities and work environments is the premier structural theory behind modern counseling. His theory structural theory is centered around the basic belief that people will seek out careers that offer environments that are compatible with their interest, likes and dislikes. This basic premise is the foundation for Holland’s globally accepted vocational personality and work environment theory. This structural theory can be explained by four general statements. First, in today’s society, generally most people will fall into one of Holland’s six category types. These types are defined as Realistic, Intellectual, Social, Conventional, Enterprising and Artistic. Secondly, there are six kinds of environments that exists in modern society (Holland, 1966). These environments are also defined as Realistic, Intellectual, Social, Conventional, Enterprising and Artistic. Next people will search for the environment and vocation that allows them to best use there skills and talents, to express their attitudes and values, to take on problems and roles they like and avoid the ones that they dislike (Gottfredson, 1981). Finally a persons behavior is determined by the interaction of his personality pattern and his environment. Holland’s theory allows counseling to define, explain and predict personality types and their compatibility with the work environment. Holland’s theory on the surface may seem simple, but the interest in his theory are useful and can indicate much more than just the types of work a person will enjoy. The many components of abilities and personalities are contained within a persons interest profile.
