For my blog post I went to the Starr career website. They offer lots of resources to help people get an idea of what careers could possibly fit them. Personally I’m already set and know what I want to do in my future but I thought it would be a great idea to seek out alternatives. My intended major is finance which is a very broad field. The quiz asked me a couple of personal questions about my work ethic. There were a few questions related to the work environment you see yourself working in but basically through these questions it determines what kind of a person you are when it comes to professions. After taking the focus 2 quiz, I found out that i’m a conventional, enterprising and investigative worker. This means that I have strong desire to figure out cause and effect problems as well as doing systematic work. My goal was to become a financial analyst. The results I got were mainly analytical jobs and that’s exactly what I was aiming for. Some of the jobs were: Credit analyst, budget analyst and employee benefits analyst. Also lots of the jobs were related to accounting so that could be something else worth considering. Now that I have seen my results there’s a lot too think about about for my career. These jobs all offer different income rates. It’s great that this system offers numerous jobs that fit an individual. I never knew that there were so many different analytical jobs out there related to finance, some of these options look very appealing to my skills. Starr career focus 2 gave me a better understanding of different job possibilities open for me. Its a great service Baruch offers and comes in handy to figure out which jobs interest you.

I found the test to be rather helpful as well in finding what interests you have related to certain career fields. I think its rather interesting that the test can show people that they hold interests in areas which they may not have fully realized they have a strong interest in. I agree with you that the tools that Baruch and the Starr Development Center provide are crucial in helping you throughout your career path.
