Recommended: Area of interest social work

My interest consist of realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. My strongest are investigative, artistic, social, and enterprising. I would like to start my own business or start below someone and eventually earn taking over the company. The type of careers that appeared were mainly social workers or a teacher. Personally, I never considered being a social worker because I do not really have an interest in working with the law. I am surprised about the low rating for realistic because I rather do hands-on and face to face situations rather than just sitting behind a desk. I have been satisfied with this quiz because it gave me a single career then branched out into different ways I could enjoy that career.

  • My Career Path Based on the 16 Career Cluster Inventory

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had the opportunity to take the 16 Careers Cluster Inventory. I found the assessment very easy to take. As well, I found the inventory easy to score. My results of the assessment indicated my top three career areas were: 1. Educational and Training, 2. Health Sciences, and 3 had a three way tie between Human Services, Hospitality, and Law enforcement. I found the assessment to be dead on. Based upon the past personality inventories that I have taken I found the suggested areas very appropriate. One of the appealing aspects of the inventory was the easy of taking it! It seemed to gather accurate information without being overly pathological and test-driven.

  • Reflection On The FOCUS 2 Assessment

    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

    Another piece of the assessment that I liked was it provided me with careers that fit my interests and preparation levels needed. For instance, one of the categories was job zone three careers that require medium preparation, such as vocation school training, on-the-job experience, or an associate’s degree. Some of the jobs I found interesting included, electronics and mechanical engineering technicians, web administrators and developers, medical equipment repairer, and aviation inspectors. However, I’m looking more for a career that will utilize a four-year bachelor’s degree, which are identified in job zone four with high preparation needed. For example, I found the following jobs interesting, aerospace engineering and operations technicians, Biomedical engineers, computer systems engineers/architects, financial analysts, forensic science technicians, nuclear and robotics engineers and software developers. Inclusively, I found this assessment thought-provoking because it allowed me to distinguish my work-related interests and what I consider important in a

    The profession of Social Work or any other Psychological based profession is very difficult and very drowning emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Being able to not put your own personal emotions or opinions your cases or towards your clients. In this case, you have a professional worker who is also a friend and mother.

  • Reflective Essay: The Strong Interest Inventory Survey

    I do agree with the results to an extent, I say this because I personally think I fit exceptionally well into the interests of conventional and investigative. I enjoy science and mathematics very much in school, and they have always been my favorite classes to take. The only thing that I do not know entirely about is as I mentioned above about being social. I think as I grow older, and find myself more it will become more apparent or not if I am a social person. The careers that caught my interest while looking over my results were: medical service, healthcare, mathematics, science, and taxes/accounting. These fit well into what I like to do, as well as being something I take high interest in for college. Another one that came up was teaching and education. It is something that I have looked into but have not decided if that is the route I would like to go into. Teaching is something that I do enjoy to do, especially with younger children since I have a very young sister and the patience for it. One thing that I have not made up my mind about is if it is something that I want to do the rest of my life. It is something that I will be looking into since it can be a very rewarding

  • Explain Why I Choose Social Work Profession

    The main reason I chose the social work profession, manifested early within my stages of childhood. The importance of giving to and caring for those in need, were deeply embedded in my very soul. Being reared by my grandmother, a nurse and by my teenage mother, a psychology student, I was exposed constantly to acts of kindness and generosity. As a result to my empathetic personality, I was welcomed into many social and ethnic groups, not commonly open to a young gay black male. In these younger years with the assistance of my parents, my love for others allowed me to help other teenagers in crisis, often providing shelter, advice, monetary assistance and a listening

  • My Interest in Social Work

    Reflecting back on my childhood, I always had a vivid imagination. I would imagine being a doctor, lawyer, or even the first female president of the United States of America. But, I never considered a career in social work. Over the years I realized that I like helping people, but my thoughts of what I wanted to be were indifferent. In high school my counselor had me do a career survey to see what may have interest me. The most common choices were Nursing, Teaching, or becoming a Social Worker. So I went on the Internet and researched as much as I could on each career choice. Nevertheless, at that point of my life I thought that Nursing was the best career choice for me.

  • My Experience In Social Work

    1311 Words  | 3 Pages

    I obtained my Masters in Social Work (MSW) degree from India in the year 2006. As with most countries around the world, the emergence of social work in India was from charity aiming to eliminate poverty. Gradually it shifted from philanthropy to rights based approach and then to organized social work. Community organization surfaced as the most central method of social work practice along with practice of casework. Although social work is much more structured in nature now, it still operates along the conventional perspective of social work. Social work is not even recognized as a profession in India. An indicator of an occupation being publicly recognized as a profession is exhibited by
