Find the Job That’s Right for You!
1. Nearly 50% of all workers have jobs they aren’t happy with.
Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job,
don’t rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit
down and think about yourself. What kind of person are you?
What makes you happy?
2. According to psychologist John Holland, there are six types
of personalities. Nobody is just one type, but most people are
mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that
might be right and others that are probably wrong.
The Realistic type is practical and likes working with
machines and tools.
The Investigative type is curious and likes to learn, analyze
situations, and solve problems.
The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express
himself/herself by creating art.
The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other
people.
The Enterprising type is outgoing and likes to persuade or
lead other people.
The Conventional type is careful and likes to follow routines
and keep track of details.
