Ⅳ.阅读
Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career, some people complain like this:Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade, I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don't think I would be a very good farmer, the results are probably a lot more accurate than I'd like to admit.At the time, it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical activities.Now, I think it might have had some points that fit my personality:I like planning(good for planning how to grow crops), working by myself (for those long days on an agricultural machine), and sometimes working on a team (for harvest time).
Watch out for any personality test that claims to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal you'd like to be, or from your favorite breakfast food as a child.While there are many personality assessments that are accurate, I'd like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-assessments.
Before finding ways to know your work preferences, it's important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year marine biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the Whale Watch program, where he found out that he became violently seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of your interests.If that career doesn't exist, my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way, you will succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.
