What This Document Is
This is a completed career self-assessment assignment for Liberty University’s Career Counseling (Couc 521) course. It represents one student’s, Cassandra L. Kennedy’s, exploration of her career traits, values, and potential professional paths based on assessments like the O*NET Interest Profiler and a personal values sort.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in similar career counseling courses. It serves as an example of how to integrate self-assessment results – specifically O*NET data and values clarification – into initial career exploration. Instructors may use it as a benchmark for student work.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This is a single individual’s self-assessment; results will vary significantly for each person. It’s a starting point for exploration, not a definitive career plan. The document focuses on *one* student’s journey and does not offer generalized career advice.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes:
* Results from the O*NET Interest Profiler, detailing scores across six interest areas (Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Investigative, Realistic, Conventional).
* A prioritized list of personal values and a discussion of how those values connect to identified traits.
* An explanation of the student’s preferred “spiritual discernment approach” (wisdom approach) to decision-making.
* Preliminary career considerations (preschool teacher, fashion designer) based on assessment results, along with a brief comparison of those options.
* References to the National Center for O*NET Development and Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey.
This preview does *not* include the full assessment data, the complete values list, or an in-depth analysis of potential career paths.
