 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.
