Career cluster questions.

The focus and choice assessments are tools that everyone

should use at least ones they provide you with very useful

information it starts by asking you questions on what you like

and dislike after it gives you the results on careers that best

match your personality. I have learned that I have a lot of

choices for majors although I have always been fascinated with

the Law there are many careers I have always liked but though I

couldn’t do, taking this assessments help motivate me to take

something else when I come back for my B.A. in two years. The

results from my assessments where right on with what I want and

would like to do one of the majors a researched were Paralegal.

The gold stars researched gave me a full description of what

Paralegals do from what they make not on only in the state of

Florida but on the entire U.S from year wages to hourly income;

also what their job duties are, one of the most interesting

things was when I clicked on connections. Connections is another

tool that helps you find different associations on the career

you’ve research the association I used was (National Federation

of Paralegal Associations) www.paralegals.org

The mission of the NFPA is to promote a global presence for the

paralegal profession and leadership in the legal community it

also offers the Advanced Competency Exam.

After completing this assessment my career goal has not change I

am still majoring in Paralegal although it did made come to a new

goal which is majoring in a total different field for when I

returned to college to complete my B.A I have always want to own

my a business (Hair Salon) so I am thinking about majoring in

Business administration in two years. This project was very

helpful it gave me a lot of information, the results didn’t

surprise me every assessments I answer to the best of my

knowledge and the results reflected what I knew they would.
