Holland Code

Don't stick your head in the washing machine: FIND OUT MORE!

Let's take a closer look at what the letters attributes to your answers mean.  This is called the Holland Code and is simply a means of looking at your personality, interests, skills, and preferences and matching that to specific career paths.  Research has found that people with the same characteristics that you have indicated are happy in these kinds of careers.  Is this a full proof method?  No, but it sure bets trying on jobs that have little resemblance to the kinds of skills and interests you possess.  For example, I feel very insecure in my math abilities.  Could I work with figures if I had to, of course, but would I enjoy my job?  Probably not, or at least not for long.

Now take a look at the Holland Code explanation and do the accompanying worksheet.
