Take the career inventories. There are no right or wrong answers. Explore the career areas that DISCOVER® will then suggest for you. Link up with the training required. Find out where it's available. Start narrowing your decision. Just remember that it's a process. Don't expect to finish it in one day or maybe even one week. Take time to think and to talk with a counselor or family member if you can.
The results of the interest, abilities, and values inventories are presented in an integrated way that makes it easy to understand the results as a whole by relating them to the world of work. DISCOVER®'s World-of-Work Map lets you see how interests, abilities, and work values relate to each other.
Today's world of work is changing very rapidly. Maybe you've already been through this process once and are returning to DISCOVER® to choose a different direction because your job has changed or is no longer needed. Whether you're planning your first career or your fourth, remember that we all need to be ready to look for new career directions throughout our working life.
