MAPP Out Your Career Plan -Free Staff Writer, The Career News MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- In today's job market and tough economy, it's tempting to jump at the first job offer you receive. But leaping before you look can lead to unhappiness down the road. You may find yourself stalled out in a career that isn't right for you. If you take the time to plot your path before plunging into a line of work, you're likely to save yourself lots of time and dissatisfaction.
So, how do you find out what you're best suited for?
Try MAPP, a free and informative online personal assessment tool that takes only 15 minutes. MAPP helps you identify your unknown talents and skills and then matches them to jobs and careers. You might be surprised at what you learn about yourself!
The reality is most people wind up in a career field other than the one they planned on. It's not about what you decided to study in college or what's easiest to do at the time - it's about who you are. That's why it's so important to map out a career plan early.
MAPP, from Assessment, is easy to use. There is a series of questions that ask you to select what you like the most and least amongst 3 things. When you're done you'll be provided a great deal of insight on yourself, the environments you thrive in and the kind of jobs, careers and activities you're suited for. It's fun, accurate and the basic report is no cost to you.
Once you have an idea of where your skills and interests lie, you are ready to begin researching careers through publications in the new field you've chosen or through the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook at: http://www.bls.gov/oco/.
Armed with this information, you can begin mapping out a long-range plan, answering the questions: Where do I want to be in one year, ten years, at retirement? Wherever that is will be affected by what you do in the early years.
The bottom line is that by mapping out a career path, you provide yourself with a powerful tool with which to navigate the often rocky road to your career goals. If you take the time to plan your future before plunging into a line of work, you're likely to save yourself lots of frustration and wasted time.
