Empowering career search and enrichment

My encounter with CPP’s products began while I was in college. During the course of my college career, I switched majors three times. I spent more time worrying about which major to choose than I did thinking about the future. It wasn’t until my last semester in college that I began to panic about what I was supposed to do after I graduated. I had already chosen a major I liked, but I was uncertain, and I also was not sure where that major was supposed to take me. I was intimidated to visit my career center because I was already a senior and knew I should have visited earlier, but I never made the time for it. When I finally worked up the nerve to seek guidance, a career counselor who helped me suggested I take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) and Strong Interest Inventory® assessments. I had already been given both assessments a few years before, but I unfortunately hadn’t been given a proper interpretation. Therefore, I hadn’t found my results useful, so I dismissed the second opportunity to take them.

Shortly after joining CPP, I became certified in both the MBTI and Strong Interest Inventory assessments. I now realize the tremendous value these hold and recognize the importance of a proper interpretation. Had this been the case in my experience, I would have been much more confident in the major that I chose. It was much more stressful than it needed to be with all the endless career choices I was presented with. Being an ENFJ, my Intuition made it a bit difficult to narrow down which career path I wanted to take. Luckily, I ended up loving the one I did finally choose, and here I am now!
