Taking PERG 130 in my last year at Mesa College really helped me confirm that I’m headed in the right direction in reaching my career goals. The course allowed me to dig deeper into what I really wanted to do in my life and how I would get there. By taking career assessments like Holland Code and surveys on character like VIA Character Strength, I was able to see what matched best with my likes and interests.

In my VIA Character Strength post stated, “The most important take away from the assessment test was that the results encouraged me to keep working hard towards what I want. I feel like I am on the right path by how the three different categories I received on the result page described me perfectly”.  It was always encouraging receiving results that inspired me to keep working toward what I wanted.

The MBIT Code was a very interesting discussion by how the video went over all the different types of people and hoe they look at different situations. The discussion made me realize that I was more of a perceiving type for the most part because I like to go with the flow and do not like having to plan things out. The perceiving type works best me but may not for others and that is fine. That really made me look at my work situation differently and how I’m working people with different personality type and different ways of doing things. It is smart to know all the different types of personalities so that you are able to work and communicate well with everyone. Like many others my way of thinking and acting has changed so much. It is neat to be able to take test like this to see how much has changed over the years.

. The Skills Assessment from California Career Zone gave my top five skills that was; Complex Problem-Solving Skills, social skills, resource management skills, basic skills, systems skills, and technical Skills. All of the skills described what I would need in my career in apparel production. Week five also discussed the different generations and how it can play a role in your workplace if working with someone in another generation. Millennial is the generation I fall under.

The start of this class I was a nanny and a month later started working my dream job in production for a designer downtown. This is just the start of working towards my career goal and I feel as though this class really help motivate and keep me focused by looking at things that will help benefit me in my career like the assessments and surveys I discussed above. There were definitely some obstacles along the way with learning a new role in my brand-new field. Even though I am not working there currently due to what is happening around the world I am still proud and pushing towards bettering myself for my future.
