Careers

What do you want to do for a living?

Use My Next Move (from O*NET) to explore career possibilities by using words to describe your dream career, by seeing how careers can be grouped by industrial areas, or by your interests. Look for patterns in your results.

To further explore careers that might be a good match for you, use the CareerOneStop: Explore Careers site. The Skills Profiler tool in particular can give you an idea of the skills you need to know to achieve your career goals.

How do I find out more information about careers?

First, use the O*NET OnLine: Find Occupations to perform variety of career searches. Compare these results with what you have gathered from your previous searches.

Then use the Occupational Outlook Handbook to find out general information about different careers, including:

• The training and education they require (pay special attention here!)
• Earnings
• Expected job prospects
• What workers do on the job, and
• Working conditions
