HOLLAND SELF-DESCRIPTION

I am a very simple person with somewhat of a

strong belief in myself and what I am capable of. I

like a hand on approach to everything that I do and

that is why I seem to excel in sports. I look to work

in labs and work with computers, with stuff that I can

put my hands on and manipulate. Out of the six

Holland types that I could have

been, after doing the questionnaires my highest scores

were in realistic, investigative and artistic.

Investigative and artistic were tied at ten each but I

am more of a investigative person and I had more job

options in investigative so I chose that over artistic.

So I decided that I would use investigative and

realistic in my discussion further in the section.

THE CAREER KEY RESULTS

The results of the career key are as follows :

realistic = 14

: Investigative = 10

: Artistic = 10

: Social = 6

: Enterprising = 3

: Conventional = 7

From these results I did a search for the

different jobs that could be found under the most

popular or the types that I got the highest scores.

Under realistic I had some choices such as mechanical

engineers, electrical engineers, mechanic etc. Under

investigative, I had choices such as physicist and

computer programmer. For artistic I only had one option

and that was being and actor. The other three did not

have very high scored so I didn’t really go into

researching them.

Alternatives

When considering the different alternatives

that I have as far a the different careers that came up

in the list , there were a lot of different careers

that I was interested in, I had a lot of different

alternatives. Some of my main choices were in the field

of engineering, be it mechanical or electrical. I also

had a few suggestions that were in the field of

computers and information systems, all of which I

really would like to go into. As far as the difference

in salary go, since they are all in a similar job

bracket they all have similar salary ranges.

As the Career key web site indicated, another

alternative is to put off choosing a career until later

down the road and try to focus on what I more important

at this point in time. A good example given is to focus

on choosing the correct courses, majors or training

courses that I should take in order to qualify myself

for the job or jobs that I am looking at.

Consequences

The consequences to me of the job opportunities

that I have set in mind for myself are not what I would

personally call consequences. The ‘consequences’ that

would come as a result of me choosing these careers

would be at most me having to be away from my family at

times, when I had to travel for the company. This would

be a consequence for me but also a consequence that my

family would have to deal with. The job I want to go

into is not one that I would necessary have to travel

too much, and if I had to travel, it would be one a off

and on basis.

Another factor that I would have to look at is

if the people around we approve of the job that I

chose. The job that I am going into is a normal white-

collar job that is common in today’s society. Computers

and other related jobs are well paying and well

respected positions in today’s work place, so I don’t

believe that the would be anyone who would disapprove

of.

On a whole there are not many consequences of

the jobs that I am interested in, for me, or the people

that matter to me, my family, close friends and other

important people.

Information

The career field that I would like to go into,

is one that I have access to a lot of information on

the different needs and requirements. The company that

my dad works with is heavily into to computers and

generators and other such mechanical equipment. And the

people that work with him are highly qualified and are

able to give me a lot of info. I am constantly asking

them about the different aspects of the job, the

qualifications needed to get the job, the demands on a

person, the hours and other such information. So I have

a good idea as to what I would be facing if I were to

get a job such as they have, and have a better

background to judge whether or not I really want to go

into this particular career.

Plan

I have already put a plan into action that will

guaranty me that I will be able to have the

qualifications that I need to get into the job I want.

I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer

science, with a minor in math. This will or should put

me into put me into a good position to get me a job in
