After following StrengthsQuest and Holland Interest Inventory I realized many points that I had never realized before. I realized that there are some things I knew but never justified the interest in knowing them. After much thought, I'm honestly not sure if the career I'm looking into really fits my profile. I'll tell you my top three Holland Interest Inventory scores and top five StrengthsQuest scores. I took the Holland Interest Inventory first and my top three characteristics that match are Social, Investigative and Realistic. Starting from the social characteristic, it shows me completely because I love being around people and have great skills in working with people and helping with problems. “I prefer to solve problems through feelings and interpersonal manipulation of others. I was once attracted to the idea of becoming a social worker and in a way I still am. I have no idea if this will honestly fit into my career as I am a person who loves to help in addition to being a medical administrative assistant. My next characteristic is investigative and I don't see much of myself as that type of person except some aspects of the description. I like working alone rather than working in a group as I prefer to get things done quickly and easily, and I also know that I can rely on myself to get things done rather than hoping half the other task gets done. Sometimes I feel like my leadership skills aren't always as good as they should be. The only reason I feel this comes from past experiences I have faced that have shown me that I am part of the crowd rather than being outside and different from society...... middle of paper....... I think this is something that would fit well in my career because I will meet people in a doctor's office every day and it's a good skill to have no matter what field you go into. I have a social talent in me, so I think it's a good trait to have in the workplace and in personal life. The question is, “Do your strengths and interests fit with your career?” I think every single characteristic or interest listed here would be more of a job in social work, counseling, or something like that. I feel like my main and future career is something that maybe just one or two interests and strengths might actually fit into my profile. So I'm thinking I may need to reconsider my major to make sure it's a good idea and something I'm willing to be able to do for my future success and the goals I want to achieve.
