2007 Missouri Career Guide, Student Edition
What excites students -- electronics, fashion, saving the planet, media or sports? How about a career?
Careers generally don't make the A-list, but they can if students are shown how to transform leisure joys into fun, rewarding, well-paying careers.
Which is the purpose of the student edition of the 2007 Missouri Career Guide, Student Edition.
The guide lets students assess their personality traits then match those traits to an appropriate, rewarding career; get the right training and education; then generate the best possible job. Students who are most prepared for the job market have seriously thought about what they want to do long before they leave school, and have plotted a roadmap to success. Doing something you love never hurts!
The guide is divided into three sections:
Career and self-assessment. Includes psychological self-assessment and career path tools, such as the Holland Party, a matching of occupation to personality.
Training and education. Includes all of Missouri's secondary education institutions, from theological and technical to four-year degree-granting programs; apprenticeship resources; GED information; financing and loan information; and educational options offered by the US military.
Getting the job. Includes time-tested job-hunting tips such as how to compose a resume, write a cover letter that works, fill out an application, effectively network and interview; and lists Missouri Workforce Development Career Centers and Vocational Rehabilitation Centers.
The Career Guide is available in several PDF versions to accommodate various download speeds.
