Janus Career Guidance
A Simple Formula
Career Choice = Understanding Yourself + Understanding the World of Work (WoW) + Understanding Educational and Training Pathways
Yourself
What are your natural talents, developed skills, interests, values, and personality traits – your make-up? Some of these you may be already aware of, while others might need exploration. Know yourself in order to ensure that you fit a career.
The World of Work (WoW)
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system lists 867 occupations, explained in detail. How many of these can you name? For how many of these can you describe a typical work day? Know the available range of occupations to find the best fit for you.
Education and Training
Once you’ve identified a career, what kind of education and/or training will you need to get started? Some paths require advanced degrees, while others need specific certifications and/or hands-on experience. Know how to prepare for a career of your choice.
