Description:
I asked one of the women from Career Services to come into our
building and give out the career tests that they have available at
their office. The students fill out several questionnaires on
SCANTRON form about their habits, likes, dislikes, hobbies,
personality, work style, etc . . . and the computer at Career Services
gives them a readout of what jobs they might be best suited for,
according to research and the carefully formulated tests.
This is a two part program. The students take the tests the
first time and then (depending on the schedule of the presenter) come
back at a later time to get their results and talk over their career
options with the presenter.
Instructions/Things Needed:
There is a minimal cost. We pooled our floor funds and asked for
money from our hall RHA and were able to eliminate the personal cost
for the students, but each test had a $10 processing fee. This
will differ, probably, between career service offices.
Other Considerations:
Be sure to ask the presenter if they need an exact body count ahead of
time, and prepare accordingly with sign-up sheets if necessary.
If at all possible, also bring in some sample resumes so the residents
can get a feel for what a professional resume looks like.
