What do you want to know about Yourself and Your Future Career? STEP 1. Make a list of questions and concerns you have about yourself and your future. STEP 2. Meet in a small group and create a list of common questions & concerns.
Common Concerns & Questions • What would I do in my future? • Would I even get accepted to college? • What would happen to me if I don’t go to college? • Which career should I choose? (group) • Will my family members like my future and proud of me? • Am I taking the courses that are going to be useful in my college courses?
What are my interests? https://connection.naviance.com/fc/signin.php?hsid=ismanila • Click on ‘Careers’ tab • 2 choices: • Click on ‘cluster finder’ (4 sections) for a general overview of what interests you • Click on ‘career interest profiler’ (180 questions) for a more specific career interest profile • When choosing your answers, think about whether you would like or dislike doing a particular work activity if you had a chance to do it. Try not to think about whether you have enough education or training to perform the activity. Make a list of Questions as you search the Naviance Website.
Still have questions? • Review the questions you started earlier relating to your future careers… • Review your table of Career Cluster interests and add some more questions relating to jobs, majors, colleges and universities to the list you already have. • These QUESTIONS are very important – they will guide your research.
