Introduction

Kym, this career profile is part of your Career Development Program at school. It is designed to help you identify your strengths, interests and preferences, and to help you get started in researching some potential career options for when you leave school. The information in this report is based on the Career Profiling assessment that you recently completed with Career Avenues. The aim of the profile is to help you:

Understand how you are different

Appreciate your strengths

Focus on your interests

Evaluate your transferable skills

Stimulate your thinking about possible exciting career ideas This profile is divided into five sections:

1. Your Personal Style

2. Your Different Reasoning Strengths

3. Your Transferable Skills Self-Assessment

4. Your Career Interest Groups at this point in time

5. Your Career Lists to Research

1. Your Personal Style

The following profile has been prepared for you, Kym, based on your answers to the Career Avenues Type for Teenagers (CATT) questionnaire. This is a personal preferences questionnaire based on the personality preferences described by Carl Jung, and developed further by Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs. Remember, this is a generalised profile which identifies preferences rather than skills and abilities. No personality type is better or worse – each has its own gifts. Your personal style should tell you about the kind of work environment and work focus that are likely to work best for you. Your Personality code was INTJ. These were your scores on each of the 4 dimensions:

External 0 Internal 16

Sensing 4 iNtuitive 4 Thinking 15 Feeling 3 Judging 10 Perceiving 3

The CATT highlights people as having one of 4 key orientations depending on Dimensions 2 and 3.

Benefactor / Realist / Idealist / Theorist. It then further divides people into a four specialisations within each of these using Dimensions 1 and 4. Your profile is described on the following pages and will be discussed in your feedback session. .

3 Kym Sample


The Theorist likes

Positioning the team for the future Linking systems, strategies and models Finding opportunities for organizational growth and development Conducting long term impact studies of complex problems Debating challenging questions

More specifically you are a Theorist - Analyst Further you are what we term a Theorist-Analyst because you enjoy analysing complex theoretical problems in new and strategic ways.

This means that you:

have an original mind a great drive for your own ideas and purposes a great power to organise a job and carry it through with or without help, in areas that appeal to

you are sceptical, critical, independent, and determined, sometimes to the point of being stubborn need to learn to yield less important points in order to win the most important

You probably also:

[DIRECTOR]

ANALYST

[INVENTOR]

[DESIGNER]

THEORIST - ANALYST

Reflector

Reflecting within oneself Preferring quiet time alone Taking time to consider

Explorer

Exploring ideas Being creative Being patient

Interactor

Discussing with others Interacting Formulating ideas while talking

Organiser

Getting things rolling Implementing ideas Setting their own goals

3 Kym Sample


are a relentless innovator in thought as well as action trust your intuitive insights into the true relationships and meaning of things, regardless of

established authority or popularly accepted beliefs have a strong belief that your inner vision can move mountains find that problems only stimulate you - the impossible takes a little longer, but not much

longer extremely independent and place a high value on competence - your own and others.

Being sure of your aspirations, you want to see them worked out in practice, and then applied and accepted by the rest of the world. You are willing to spend any amount of time and effort to effect this. You have determination, perseverance, and will drive others almost as hard as you drive yourself. Although your preference is for intuition, you can, when necessary, focus on the details of a project to realise your vision. You like to devise strategy, give structure, establish complex plans and outline sequences of events in reaching distant goals dictated by a strong vision of the organization. You probably thrive on putting theories to work and are open to any and all ideas that can be put to use. You:

are an original thinker are interested and innovative show single-minded concentration are unimpressed with authority are likely to naturally work hard to achieve

To function best you need: Support for ideas and projects. You need freedom from routine and mundane details. You like problems to solve and to see your ideas worked out and applied. You are frustrated by: Routine, redundancy, being side-tracked by others' needs and opinions. You dislike being told what to do or how to do things. On a team: You analyse the alternatives. Preferred work environment:

Contains decisive, intellectually challenging people focussed on implementing long-range visions

Allows privacy for reflection Efficient Includes effective and productive people Encourages and supports autonomy Opportunities for creativity Task-focussed

Your Learning Style: You probably learn by:

3 Kym Sample


conceptualising, that is by abstracting common properties and developing categories organizing ideas and looking for patterns to make sense of the ideas analysing and evaluating the usefulness of ideas

In learning, you are likely to:

map the outline of your work well in advance and develop a study agenda build theoretical models to solve complex problems, enigmas and riddles that you have

discovered enjoy the challenge of problem solving and need the stimulation of this as you study thrive on the acquisition of knowledge, competencies and the implementation of these

dislike learning by repetition rather than by understanding Sometimes your fear of failure can interfere with your learning especially if you feel you are being observed by peers. If a learning experience is not of a high quality you may feel it isn’t worth it. However, as you are driven towards your long term goals, you should be able to move through this and get on with learning.

Your Transferable Skills Theorist - Analysts are usually attracted to careers that make use of their depth of concentration, their grasp of possibilities, their use logic and analysis and their ability to organise. Their orientation to the task, their ability to search for patterns in the whole, their perseverance and creative approach to problem solving draw them to careers in which they can pursue their inner vision. They are intensely individualistic and can make great visionary leaders. Theorist - Analysts are more often found in areas such as:

academic research theoretical and technical positions law, engineering, architecture physical and life sciences psychology and social science computer science writing and editing careers in the arts careers that require prolonged periods of solitary concentration and objective analysis careers that allow them to bring their own insights into practical applications in the world careers that allow autonomy and individual achievement and time to focus on a goal

They are less often found in:

o careers requiring emotional care of others o career based on relationship-oriented work such as social work o work that requires practical, routine production or delivery of services o careers that depend mainly on hands-on work, attention to detail, and/or following

structures imposed by others. (This material is taken from the literature on the Jungian types and the work of Charles Martin “Looking at Type and Careers”, available from the Institute of Type Development (http://www.itd.net.au).

2. Your Problem Solving Skills The results given in this section show how you went on Career Avenues (CA) Differential Reasoning Assessments. These tests given you an indication of how well your problem solving in different areas is developed at this point in time. Remember, your academic results are also very important and they will be the deciding factor in gaining a place in most courses, should you choose further study. The CA tests represent how you went at a particular point in time. Academic results also show you how you have achieved over time. With this in mind, your problem solving skills as assessed by the different timed measures are set out in the following paragraphs. The numbers you are given below are ranks, not the number you had correct on each test. The rank for each test show that you had a score that was as high or higher than that percentage of Australian students in your school year group. These ranks have been developed over 10 years of testing with over 40,000 individuals. In each section below, we have explained which skills are particularly relevant for different career areas.

Ranking: 1 – 24 May need improvement if you are wanting to build a career on this area

35 – 64 Very Sound 75 – 90 Excellent

25 – 34 Fair 65 – 74 High 91 - 99 Outstanding

2.1 Abstract Problem Solving The abstract or non-verbal reasoning test was one in which you had to say which of the options was the next logical pattern in the series of patterns. That is, you had to choose the next pattern in the sequence. This is a test which reflects your:

capacity to be adaptable in your thinking

flexibility in how you approach problems

speed of learning in a new situation

mental agility in solving problems

capacity to handle conceptual or theoretical as distinct from practical or applied thinking tasks Career Relevance Abstract Reasoning is related to any career involving complex problem solving.

Abstract Reasoning – Example Item A pattern or sequence develops across the page to the right. You have to select which of the alternative answers best continues the pattern or sequence. The answer would be (b).

Kym, your Abstract Reasoning rank was above that of 54 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was Very Sound compared to people in your age group. You learn with moderate speed, can deal with problems of some difficulty level and have sound problem solving skills. You may take some time to adjust to new learning situations, but once competent in area you perfect the skill.

2.2 Verbal Problem Solving The Verbal Reasoning test was based on logic and language. It measure ones:

understanding of the complexities of the English language

extended knowledge of word meanings

ability to think analytically in words, and

clarity of thinking using words and word-based arguments. Career Relevance Verbal skills are very important as a basis for university studies, especially in areas requiring a lot of reading and verbal analysis such as law and journalism.

Verbal Reasoning – Example Item:

AUTHOR has the same relationship to BOOK as COMPOSER has to: A. concert B. play C. symphony D. musician E. instrument

The answer is (c) symphony. As an author writes a book (a piece of literature), a composer writes a symphony (a piece of music). Your Verbal Reasoning rank was above that of 93 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was at the Outstanding level. You are able to recognise relationships within verbally presented material and to deal with very complex verbal content. You should be able to express your ideas and information clearly and effectively in both spoken and written form, and to analyse written arguments.

2. Numerical Problem Solving This is a test which measures your ability to reason and solve problems with numbers. It shows:

how well one can undertake reasonably complex computational and statistical tasks

one’s capacity to process numerical information

ability to think it terms of number patterns and

to solve numerically based problems. Career Relevance Strong scores on this test would be important for careers requiring complex mathematical calculation such as engineering and statistics.

Numerical Reasoning – Example Item: You can buy a shirt for $40 and get a second one for half the price of the first one. How much would you

pay for 2 shirts? A. $60 B. $80 C. $50 D. $70

The answer is (A) $60, being $40 for the first shirt, added to $20 for the second. Kym, your Numerical Reasoning rank was above that of 70 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was High. You have a good "feel" for numbers and can work through numerical problems of moderate difficulty and think in terms of numbers, as long as you have adequate time to do so.

3 Kym Sample


2.4 Attention to Detail This was the number and name checking test. The Attention to Detail test assesses one’s:

ability to attend to fine detail

accuracy of processing rather than complexity of processing

speed of comprehension

and how quickly someone can orientate themselves to a detail task and respond to it Career Relevance Attention to Detail is very important for many business and administrative jobs, as well as a range of careers in scientific and other technical areas.

Attention to Detail – Example Item: Are the numbers or name the same or not? Colour under the Y for Yes, or the N for No. Y N 2437 ..... 2437

Kim Leong ... .. Kim Liong

Kym, your Clerical Speed and Accuracy rank was above that of 82 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was at an Excellent level compared to people of your age group. This means that you have very strong attention to detail. You are able to orientate yourself quickly to new situations, and to process information quickly, attending accurately to detail. You would be very competent at dealing with tasks requiring orientation to detail.

2.5 Physical Problem Solving This test is designed to assess how well people understand the physical world. It uses picture based questions which ask about the physical and mechanical processes we are exposed to every day, such as the influence of gravity, leverage and fluid flow. It measures one’s:

potential for solving problems based on physical forces and processes and

assesses one’s understanding and knowledge of mechanical operations. Career Relevance Sound skills in this areas are important for many practical and technical occupations such as:

engineer

technical and trades careers

other physics-related careers

some sports and health related areas

Physical Reasoning – Example Item

Which stool will last longer? (If you can’t tell, answer C)

The answer is B. A B Your Physical Reasoning rank was above that of 45 percent of your peer population. Your performance in this area was Very Sound compared to people in your age group. This means that you have a good set of skill development in physical reasoning and that careers involving practical mechanical reasoning should be well within your capability.

3 Kym Sample


2.6 Spatial Problem Solving In the Spatial Reasoning test, you had to mentally fold up some shapes or nets to imagine what they would look like, folded into an object. In other items you had to choose what shape a figure would unfold into. These items assess one’s potential to:

visualise and mentally manipulate objects in three dimensions

imagine how an object would look if made from a given pattern or plan

identify how a specified object would look if rotated in a given way

manipulate objects and plans mentally, and

create a structure in one’s mind from a plan Career Relevance Spatial Reasoning is an ability needed in design and construction fields such as architecture, carpentry, building and fashion. It is needed whenever there is a need to visualise objects in three dimensions, or develop or read from a plan or working diagram which represents something in three dimensions. There are also design areas which rely more on two dimensional manipulation and that may not always require high levels of spatial skills, such as graphic design and fabric design. Spatial Reasoning – Example Item Look at the figure on the left. Which of the boxes on the right would it fold into? The colours will stay on the outside of the figure. Only one answer is correct and the 3 dimensional figures m ay have been rotated to any presentation.

Your Spatial Reasoning rank was above that of 87 percent of your peer population. Your performance in this area was Excellent compared to people of your age. This means that you have the spatial reasoning ability to pursue a career in fields of work involving design of any sort such as architecture, engineering and design sciences.

3. Transferable Skills : Self-Assessment As part of your Career Profile you also completed our brief self-assessment on your transferable employability skills. These are a core set of skills and abilities which can be applied to a wide range of different jobs and industries. People usually pick them up over time and develop them through many different activities such as school, hobbies, sports, voluntary work and paid jobs as well as through interacting with family and friends. They are becoming increasingly important to use in your Resume. Our Employability Skills Self-Assessment is based on ideas presented in a book prepared by the Business Group Australia (The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and The Business Council of Australia), entitled Employability Skills for the Future which identified general skills employers may look for. The graph below summarises your answers. The maximum you could have given any one skill was 20. There are certainly many more transferable skills than we have identified here. However this is a start to help you recognise what you already have going for you in getting ready for your career.

You can see from the graph which skills are your top transferable skills. Make a note of these and think about the career areas for which they might be important. You don’t need to develop all of the skills in the list. However, you might like to note any skills that you do think are important and you want to develop further. You can also relate these skills back to your personal style transferable skills.

Taking the Initiative:

Critical Thinking Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying and analyzing information and coming up with new insights and solutions using your own thought processes. It is very important in some work roles. Leading & Organizing Skills This skill is about how comfortable and effective you are at taking on leadership roles and in getting things done on time and ensuring deadlines are met. These skills start to suggest whether you are inclined to want to take on leadership roles or whether you prefer not to have this pressure.

5. Your Preferred Knowledge Bases Below are some lists which contain examples of careers in your highest interest groups, which are also generally consistent with your personal style and aptitudes. These ideas will lead you to identify your preferred knowledge base when it comes to choosing a course of study post school. Each career group has its own knowledge base which people entering the field will start to develop through education and training. Sound development of this knowledge base allows flexibility of movement between many of the different careers identified within any particular list. The next step is to look up each of these career ideas and decide which ones to include in your Career Action Plan short list. To do this:

1) Log in to our website www.careeravenues.com.au (create an account if you don’t have one) 2) Follow the links to Resources and Tips 3) Enter your school enrollment key from the inside cover of this report 4) Use the Career Snapshots link to get a quick idea of what each career in your list is about 5) Shortlist the careers you are interested in, in your Career Action Plan Booklet. 6) Use each state’s Career Tools sites to investigate your short listed careers in full detail

Please note, these career lists show you the types of careers that different knowledge bases lead to. The career ideas are there to stimulate your thinking and help you expand your options, but they are not a guarantee of success. Not all possibilities will be listed: these are indicative only, so you should get to work and expand the list as you see fit. You can then identify the knowledge base required for each different group of careers by looking up course outlines at colleges and universities.

Preferred Knowledge Bases Marketing & Management advertising agent advertising brand manager advertising consultant archives manager barrister construction manager economist electronic commerce manager entrepreneur event manager exhibition manager financial dealer & broker foreign affairs & trade official futurist - business development consultant IT consultant land economist logistics manager management consultant publishing manager real estate developer research & development manager small business owner solicitor Accounting & Finance accountant

3 Kym Sample


2. Research the careers in the above lists, and other careers you have thought about sufficiently to draw up a short list of around 6 or 8 careers that you would like to know more about, using the Careers Snapshot link.

3. Take each career in turn and gather information about it from our Career Tools sites. Evaluate each

career against the information contained in this report and other information you have about yourself, such as your school results and your other interests and abilities.

4. Find out about how you would become qualified for each career. Record at least 2 courses of study

for each career that would give you the correct qualifications. Look in detail at these courses and what you would have to study.

5. Consider which knowledge base you want to start your career with, rather than which specific career you want to go into.

6. Visit the training institutions and talk to staff who run the courses. Become very well informed about each course you are considering.

7. Check the entry requirements and make sure you are taking or plan to take the right high school

subjects to gain entry.

8. Check job vacancy sites such as seek.com.au. Read the job descriptions. Make sure they are consistent with your expectations when you choose a knowledge base from which to start.

Concluding Comments

Entry to different courses does, of course, depend upon meeting specific entry requirements, and entrance cut off levels. How you apply your skills and aptitudes to meet these requirements will be up to you. Remember, regardless of your aptitudes, you must also work hard to get good academic results. Your course and career decisions are ones which only you can make, and, it may take you some time to complete the research process and develop a career plan. However, we hope this profile and the associated exercises will help to get you started on this process. The career ideas are a good place to start your research, but they are not recommendations for you nor do they imply a guarantee of success. They are also not meant to limit you in any way. You should explore all ideas that appeal to you. It is now up to use you use this information to extend your thinking about career and course options. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this report.
