After Graduation - What Next?...


 
This service for high school seniors, juniors, and college students is designed to get you started in the right direction.  Some of the topics covered in the personal profile include:
 
General Characteristics--General statements that provide a broad understanding of your work style.  These statements identify the basic natural behavior that you bring to the job.  The statements identify "How You Would Choose To Do The Job".  You can use this section to gain a better understanding of your natural behavior.
 
Value To The Organization--Identifies the specific talents and behavior you bring to the job.  These statements will help you identify specific duties and responsibilities that you enjoy and also those that create frustration for you.
 
Ideal Environment--Identifies the ideal work environment for your behavioral style.  Use this section to identify specific duties and responsibilities that you enjoy and also those that create frustration for you.
 
Perceptions--Your behavior and feelings may be quickly telegraphed to others.  This section provides additional information on your self-perception and how, under certain conditions, others may perceive your behavior.  Understanding this section will enable you to project the image that will allow you to control the situation.
 
Natural and Adapted Style--Your natural style of dealing with problems, people, pace of events, and procedures may not always fit what the environment needs.  This section will provide valuable information related to stress and the pressure to adapt to the environment.
 
Areas for Improvement--In this section is a listing of possible limitations without regard to a specific job.  Some may not apply, but highlight 1 to 3 of these limitations that are hindering your performance and develop an action plan to eliminate or reduce this hindrance.
 
Assessment and Recommendations--These will be general in nature and broad in scope.  We are simply trying to point you in the right direction.
 
The Goal of The Assessment Process--Every day we hear from people just like my friend.  He grew up in a family of engineers.  He naturally assumed that he would be an engineer too.  After struggling for 2 years in college chasing an engineering degree and almost flunking out, he had all the engineering he could stand.  He went on to graduate from college with a degree in Marketing.  Today he is a successful Financial Consultant.

My friend is one of the lucky ones.  Many people are out of college and in a career for years before they give up and try to find something they really want to do.

 
Success is a Journey, Not a Destination.  Our goal is not to propose specific jobs or careers for you, but to just help you get started in the right direction.
 
PS--This report may give you some ideas on how to improve your relationship with parents, teachers, and peers.  You may be able to use the information to improve your effectiveness in school.
