Assignment: Vocational/Career Self-Assessment
As you begin this course in vocational psychology and counseling , as with any endeavor where you will be working closely with clients and colleagues, e.g., during practicum and internship experiences, it is a good idea to enhance your own self-awareness in the area as well as expose yourself to some of the tools of the trade. Thus, you will take a personality self-assessment (Self-Directed Search) and receive a report that interprets the results. You will also be introduced to the Walden University Career Services Center, and conduct your own self-assessment of your strengths. You will reflect on insights you gained as a result of taking these self-assessments and learning about the Career Center.
To prepare for this assignment:
- Think about what you might learn about yourself as a result of taking a self-assessment inventory in the area of vocational/career counseling/development at this stage of your life.
- There is a free version of the Self Directed Search online at: http://personality-testing.info/tests/RIASEC.php
- Take the survey.
- Review the report you get back. Do you think the interpretation is mostly accurate? In what ways? If not, why not? What insights did you have?
View the 15-minute Walden Career Services Video entitled “Self Knowledge Tools to Enhance Your Competitive Edge,” found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glLe8qqoKBE&feature=youtu.be
Then complete at least one of the self-assessments of strengths mentioned in the video (SWOT is free; SkillScan and StrengthFinder have nominal fees associated with them).
Summarize your results, and consider what was most valuable about the self-assessment of strengths exercise.
Think about a client taking such inventories. What role do you think a counselor might play in terms of helping a client interpret and deal with the results of the inventories?
The assignment: (2–3 pages)
- Write a synthesis of the findings from the self-assessments that you took (both the SDS and the strengths self-assessments recommended by the Walden Career Center)
- Describe your reactions to each. If you were in a counseling setting, what kind of support or response might you want from your counselor given your reaction?
- Report on what you found to be most valuable about completing the self-assessments and being introduced to the Walden Career Center.
- Discuss how you might apply these tools with clients who are interested in launching a career search
