A Career Inventory

����������� What is a career inventory? It is similar to VARK because the inventory does an analysis of your career interest and abilities. After the questions are answered, a career inventory suggest jobs that may interest you best. Not every job that is listed may be the job for you, but it is just a suggestion. When I went to "Choosing a Career that Suits you Best," I took '"The Birkman Method Career Style Summary," "Career Interest Game'" and"Kaplan's Get a Clue." All of the inventories were accurate and similar to my job now.

����������� Out of the three though, I liked "The Birkman Method Career Style Inventory." It was very clear and easy to understand. It gave m results that I was pleased with. The inventory told me what my interest and usual style color was yellow. Then the inventory explained the common interest and styles used for job responsibilities.

����������� The second inventory I took was the"Career Interest Game."; This inventory did not have any question. All it had was six different color boxes with descriptions an different category names. I chose conventional, also known as "The Organizers," which is true. Once a chose a box, it listed how I am and what I can do and like to do. This inventory also listed hobbies and job possibilities for the future. I was also pleased with this inventory.

����������� The last inventory I took was"Kaplan?s Get a Clue."I did not like this inventory for two good reasons. It asked to many questions and I did not like how it would not let me skip a question if I did not want to answer it. This inventory did though give me the same results as the other two inventories.

����������� I suggest that everyone should take a career inventory just to see what the results are. Nothing can hurt! I really enjoyed taking the inventories and I am happy with the results.
