CAREER ASSESSMENT

Take our Career Interest Survey

The Career Center offers students an opportunity to meet with a career counselor, in a relaxed, confidential setting.  Career Counselors may suggest resources, references, computerized as well as written questions about one's interests or personal preferences, likes or dislikes.
These "tools" provide the counselor with scientific research information that compares an individual student with people who are happy and successful in the work place.

CISS® (Campbell™ INTEREST and SKILL Survey)
The Campbell Interest and Skill Survey (CISS) from NCS, measures self-reported vocational interests and skills. Similar to traditional interest inventories, the CISS interest scales reflect an individual's attraction for specific occupational areas. The items reflect a respect for individuals of different gender, race, religion, and national origin.

A few things to remember:

1.  Surveys and inventories are NOT tests.

2.  A follow-up appointment will be made with the student to interpret 
      and talk about the results of their surveys with a counselor.

3.  Counselors and staff will guide the student in gathering specific
      information about their high interest areas.

4.  Field surveys present an opportunity for students to interview someone in
      their future field, to ask about trends and get advice from those
      people currently working in the field.
