Career Exploration and Assessment
Before you begin to work on your Career Portfolio, it is important to spend time thinking about
what you like to do and exploring different career areas. The time you spend now doing career
exploration and assessment will help you decide which businesses/colleges to apply to in the
future. There are many tools and activities that you can use to gather some information about
yourself—your particular learning style, strengths, abilities. Once you have thought about and
identified this information, you can then begin to explore careers that match your personal
characteristics.
Some examples of these tools and activities:
• Self-Directed Search (SDS)
• Choices or GIS
• Get a Life Portfolio
• Maine Career Advantage What Career Might Be Best for Me? packet
• O*NET Work Importance Locator
• Harrington O’Shea Career Decision-Making Booklet
• Job tours or shadows
• Career fairs or conferences
Please talk with your guidance counselor or teachers about which of these tools/activities may be
available through your high school.
