Career Plan: Work Culture Preferences
The Work Culture Preference Activity in the My Career Plan was very interesting with the variety of questions that were asked. I found it difficult at times to answer some because they were things I had never considered before. Once I had finished the activity and received my results, I was surprised by a few things that were stated. It showed I would prefer a work culture where my job was high powered, expert, and supportive. I agree with the expert and supportive because I would like a job in a very specialized industry and I think everyone wants to work in a supportive atmosphere but I have never really desired to be in a high powered position. The results of the Work Culture Preference activity related to the results of my personal competencies from week two because it showed what kind of atmospheres would best suit my strengths. With the information of the two activities I can now go in search for job opportunities that I know I will have the best experience, work environment and self-fulfillment possible. All of the tools the University of Phoenix offers on the Career Services site are also very beneficial to individuals as they are looking for a career. It gives you the ability to make informed decisions on what kind of job you are wanting with the Job Market Research and Job Opportunity tabs. You are able to research the demand, pay rate, needed education/experience based on where you are looking to work and then see what kind of job opportunities there are in that area available at the time. The Resume Builder is amazing as you are able to either upload/import a resume you may already have or create a new resume where it walks you step by step through options and suggested fields to fill in. It also can help you refine your resume to ensure you have the best chance at presenting your skills,
