WHAT INTERESTS DO YOU HAVE THAT RELATE TO WORK?

If you like what you do, you're more likely to get out of bed in the morning and go to work than if you don't like what you do.  That's easy to understand, but it's not always easy to find work you like.  Our goal at San Diego Continuing Education is to help guide you into a career that matches your interests.  We believe you should do what you like...like what you do! 

There are several no-cost career interest inventories on the web that will help you focus on how your interests relate to jobs.

The California Career Zone Interest Profiler is a 180-question questionnaire that groups jobs into career areas and provides a Summary Code that matches specific jobs. Select "Assess Yourself" and answer the questions.http://cacareerzone.org/flash/index.html

With any interest questionnaire, you must know it is only a general guideline for you to use while evaluating your future.  You must think about many other factors when making a career decision; time, energy, previous education, training and work experience, financial resources to train for a new career, etc.

Interest inventories are NOT tests.  And they will not tell you what you like.  YOU tell the inventory what you like, and it helps relate those interests to the world of work.  The more accurate your responses are, the more accurate the results will be!
