The staff members of this office are trained to help you think through the match between your characteristics and a variety of jobs and careers.

They are a good way for an employer to get an extended View of your characteristics. And, as an intern, you can determine whether the type of work you are doing is a good match for your characteristics.

Do not hesitate to look for other types of employment if you find yourself in a job that does not fit you well. You can even start to make this kind of assessment during the recruitment process.

Remember your score on this self-assessment, while useful for self understanding, should not be over-interpreted. First, every person is complex and it is impossible to fully capture your uniqueness in a short self-assessment. Second, you may well find your person-job fit may change over time, or you may come to understand what your fit actually is only later in life. Third, do not allow yourself to feel like you are trapped in a job that does not suit you. You are always free to pursue other options. https:Hnewconnect.mheducation.com 414
