Multiple Choice

Mentoring Careers (Scenario)
Jamal was glad to see the high school interns come and work in his office and glad to see them go. It was not that he did not enjoy their company or that they did not work hard and attempt to perform at a high level, but many times he had seen kids come into his plant determined to be in a particular occupation that did not suit them. It was both frustrating and sad to see them try so hard at something they did not like and were not good at performing. So, for this next group of five interns, he decided to do something different. He did a little research and found out about Holland's Typology of Personality and Vocational Preference. Then, as the interns arrived, he asked them to take the test to help guide them into occupations for which they may better be suited.
