your skills lie & what you like to do- Also a process of researching, learning & discussing
your career interests, or what it is that you would like to do for work
(McNally, n.d.)

Career Interest Inventory
Describes / illustrates (often with pictures and videos) many occupations and job tasks.
Asks individuals to rate how much they would enjoy doing each job /
task.
By rating their level of interest in a wide range of occupations, these
inventories help young people recognize their predominant interests
and preferences (Timmons, Podmostko, Bremer, Lavin,
and Wills, 2004).
Uses: in school classes, in afterschool & community youth programmes, in
workforce development programmes, at home
Types Of Career Interest Inventory
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI) - 1940's personality career test
- determines professional strengths and areas of
weakness / disinterest allows users to find
compatible careers that highlight personal strong
points- provides a career type
based on several characteristics
(extroversion, introversion, sensing, intuition, feeling,
perceiving, thinking, judging)
- combines the results and allows users to see what work environments and conditions are similar to
their specific type
STRONG Interest Inventory - 1927
psychological career test
- compares your interests & dislikes to people working
happily in 122 different occupations
- if you share similar likes & dislikes with people that
enjoy doing their job, you might enjoy that job as well
- give better understanding of interests, help to
understand how those interests fit into the world of work, give some general ideas of careers to explore
The "Holland Code" system - 1970's
interest based career test
- uses 6 letters to describe the 6 fundamentally
different types of work (Realistic, Investigate,
Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) RIASEC
- most tests will show you your top scoring 2 / 3 letters
"Holland Code"- from that, you can look up
a list of matching careers- e.g.: if your Holland Code was R-I, then the careers that match your interests
would be a combination of "Realistic" (physical, hands
on work) and "Investigative" (technical, scientific)
Analysing Career InterestInstructions / Questions that a teacher can give to pupils:
• Make a note of the activities you most enjoy and why you find them interesting.
• Among these interests, is there one which gives you more satisfaction than others?
• What do you spend most time on now?
• Are there any interests that you would like to develop or to spend more time on?
Career Values
• In relation to work, values are what give purpose to a job in the eyes of the individual who does it value = ‘motivator’ to a job
• The effort, commitment and motivation that a person brings to a job is usually in direct proportion to the values that they perceive in it.
• The values are likely to be the main factor in deciding on a career, or a career path within a particular field of employment.
EXAMPLES OF VALUES RELATED TO CAREERS• INDEPENDENCE Freedom to work alone, make your own decisions, plan your own
work.
• HELPING Helping, advising or caring for others in face-to-face work situations.
• RISK-TAKING The sense of excitement, adventure and challenge that comes from taking risks, whether personal, physical or to an organisation.
• VERSATILE / VARIETY Change and diversity in work content, personal contacts or location.
• LEADERSHIP, TEAM MEMBERSHIP Work in close co-operation with others to achieve a common goal.
• ADVANCEMENT Promotion, career progression and upward mobility.
• SECURITY Stability of employment and assured salary.
• ARTISTIC / CREATIVITY Engage in creative work in any art form.
