Everyone has a different way to
describe themselves and what they like to do. The
Career
Cluster Interest Survey,
created by Minnesota State University, lets you rate activities you
enjoy, your personal qualities, and school subjects you like. Then
you can see which career clusters are a match for your
interests.
You’ll answer 152 different yes/no questions
about specific interests, activities, personal qualities, and
education. It only takes about 10 minutes to complete because all
you’re doing is checking off boxes for traits that relate to you.
This process can help you get clear on the right career - or type
of job - that works best for you.
This week’s listener question is a relatable one for folks looking to relocate. Becky and the team address this question from Seth Richardson, of New York City:
“Hi, this is Seth from New York City. I am in the process of relocating to Portland. Can you give me some advice on how to get my resume noticed from across the country when I can’t always be there in person to make the face-to-face connection?”
