SKILLSCAN CARDSORT
The SkillScan cardsort exercise helps you to pick out and categorize
your competencies. Through this process, you can readily identify your
strengths and weaknesses. This information can then be incorporated into
your decision-making about majors or careers and preparations for resume
writing and interviewing.
VALUES DRIVEN WORK CARDSORT
This is a hands-on exercise that allows you to prioritize work values
in four areas: work environment, work content, work relationships, and
intrinsic values. This information can then be used as you assess the
fit between various career fields and work environments and your own
needs and desires.

Make a
one-hour appointment for individual counseling by
calling the receptionist at Career Services.
