YOUR NEXT STEPS

We encourage you to complete the "MyResults" document (below) and then discuss your particular situation with a career counselor. There are many instances when it would be a better use of your time to utilize other Career Development Office resources, and a counselor will help you assess this. These instances would include learning about a particular occupation you have in mind, gaining experience, preparing for your job search (resume, contacting employers, interviewing) or graduate school. Schedule an appointment with a CDO counselor by calling 716-673-3327 or submit an appointment request online at www.fredonia.edu/cdo.

 DEFINING YOUR WORK VALUES
When reviewing your Work Values Cluster on the “Values Assessment” what are your top three work values? By grouping statistically similar work needs, the model provides a way for us to more easily conceptualize what motivates us at work.

 IDENTIFYING YOUR SKILLS
Complete the following table using your “Skills Profiler” report. Identify your top 5 Career Categories (found at the top of the test report), the top 5 skills you rated the highest, and the bottom 5 you rated the lowest.

 EXPLORING YOUR INTERESTS
Use the boxes below to identify your top two interest areas (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional). Identify what words in the descriptions of those interest areas best describe you.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSONALITY
Personality types are usually referred to by their dominant traits, and these categories simply reflect a personal preference or predisposition, not a categorical absolute. Our personalities are, in real life, infinitely variable.
