Career Exploration and Research

Not sure exactly what you'd like to do for a career? Or what types of careers you can pursue with your academic major?  Career Services provides resources to explore your options.  We have created a guide to help you start your career search [14]. 

• My Next Move [15] is a fun, informative site that can help you fine tune what careers may be interesting to you.
• O*NET [16] is a great resource for researching occupations, their educational requirements, employment outlook and salaries.  
• Informational interviewing [17] gives you the chance to meet professionals in their field and ask them questions about how their career path evolved, what they like or don't like about their jobs, and suggestions they may have for someone looking into that career.

Assessments

Taking a career or personality assessment [18] can help you to fine tune your major, learn what careers may be a good fit for you, or even understand how to work more effectively with other people.  Davenport offers free online assessments for our students and alumni, and we encourage you to contact Career Services [19] after you complete them to analyze the results.
