Holland Party Game: Table Choice Two • Join the table that matches the letter of your number two choice. • Share why you chose this personality type. • Discuss possible majors that would match this personality type and why.
FOCUS Self-Assessment Inventory • The FOCUS follows the same principles as the Holland Codes. Did your focus results yield similar results to this activity?
What does this mean? • It is important to remember that there is usually no “moment of revelation” regarding the perfect major or the perfect career for you. • In fact, there is no single major or career which is the best for you—each of us has abilities which can be applied to a wide variety of career fields. • Most of us will work for approximately 10 different employers during our lifetime, have at least three or four different careers, and spend an average of 3.5 years in each position.
