What jobs are you naturally suited for, and what jobs are suited to you? One way to find an answer to these questions is to do a career inventory. Similar to the VARK and the short version of the MBTI which you used, a career inventory is an instrument that asks questions about your interests and your abilities. It tells you what career fields hold promise for you based on your responses to the questions. These aren't fool-proof, scientific measurements because human beings are not completely predictable, scientific machines. We're people! But the career inventories may help you to get a perspective on a field or profession that you might not have considered yourself to be suited for, or they might just reinforce what you have always known about which field you wish to go into professionally. To gather your information for this short paper, I encourage you to go to the TNCC Career Center in the Hampton III building, where the friendly staff will gladly help administer a career inventory. Or you can short cut and go to the Career Center's web site to do some on-line inventories on your own.

For the career inventory paper (appx. 300 words), you will describe what a career inventory is, which inventories you used (at least two), and what the results were. Some questions to consider: Did they seem right to you, or off mark? Did you learn something useful from the inventories you tried or not? Would you recommend these devices to others? Why or why not?
