When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Chances are that, from then until now, you had many answers, ranging from an astronaut to a zookeeper and everything in between. As you got older, you then began to ask yourself, “How do I become a/an __________?”
A free career exploration site, aptly named “Inside Jobs,” allows you to research your dream career or help you find one based on your interests. Created by a team of professionals with diverse backgrounds, Inside Jobs provides “how to” articles for careers development and offers information about degrees and schools in whichever career you choose.
The most interesting feature, named the “Career Counselor,” is a carefully crafted “career search engine.” Options allow you to type in keywords associated with your interests, like “writing,” or a profession closely related to a career you have in mind. Another option allows you to optimize your original search by checking requirements such as “have better pay” or “that are more social.” In addition, you can actively browse through the catalog of “Career Families” that range from healthcare to the great outdoors.
In a time where solid career path is more important than ever, Inside Jobs provides detailed and accurate descriptions in order to get an idea of how to get started. Conversely, it can help narrow your focus by allowing you to research and discover what you don’t want to do and what you’re not interested in. If you’re still unsure about your path or interested in where your current career will take you, Inside Jobs is a great resource to utilize.
