I went to the second workshop of Let’s Get Starrted. Since I didn’t go to the first meeting, I thought that I would be lost during this workshop but the assistant director of the Starr Career Development center made everything very easy to understand for those they went for the first time and the information was very helpful, especially for those that may have trouble figuring out what they want to major in. We went over the Strong Interest Inventory Profile that the students have taken during the first workshop, but since I didn’t go to the first workshop, I got a sample profile instead. She even gave handouts that would help us figure out what kind of jobs occupations would suit us based on our personality, skills, and interests. For example, if your general occupational theme is conventional that means that you prefer to work with data and carry out detailed instructions or plan. Based on the general occupational theme, a possible occupation could be an accountant, actuary, financial manager, etc. The profile is kind of like the Focus 2 Assessment except it seems to be more detailed and the workshop itself was very helpful to me as I am unsure of what I want to major in anymore and might consider changing my intended major.
