What Do I Need to Know?

The more you know about yourself, what you like, what your strengths appear to be, the areas in which you do not excel, your interests, attitudes, and skills the more adept you will become at  seeking out your future.  
     Let's take a look at some ways in which you can learn more about yourself.

The first thing you need to do is think about the kinds of things you are interested in.  This doesn't just include school work or specific academic courses.  You have all kinds of interests, sports, creating things with your hands, researching subjects on the internet.  These are all part of what makes you uniquely you.  So, take a look at the Va View website and get a better idea of how your interests can guide you toward a satisfying career.

Click on the link below which will take you to the site.  Once there, watch the short video to learn  how to complete the assessment.  When the video is completed, click on Start Assessment.  Once the questionnaire is completely filled out a list of careers related to your answers will appear along with a code giving you insight into the types of jobs that fit your personality.  More will be discussed about this after you finish the interest inventory.  For now, simply fill out the accompanying worksheet making a list of the 3 careers you would be most interested in pursuing.  These will be looked at more closely as you continue on your adventure. When you have finished come on back to this site.
