BCOM 275 My Competencies and Career Interest Profiler

**Essay Excerpt***

Based on the career matches of my interest profiler by the University of Phoenix, I am conventional, enterprising, and sociable. Conventional meaning that I like a routine in my daily life. Conventional can also refer to someone who prefers to work with data or detailed information. Saying that I am enterprising is saying that I would like to be a leader and someone who makes important decisions and also be able to take risk and like the business aspect of things. Sociable is describing me as a person who would prefer to work with people, not a job where there is a lot of time spent alone. It also includes that I would be fit to provide services to others because of my like of teaching and communicating with people. The top ten career matches the Interest Profiler generated for me were office and Administrative Support, Business and Financial Operations, Legal, Management, Sales and Related, and Personal Care and Services. From the results of this test, I seem to have chosen a degree in a field that would fit me well, Business Administration with an Outlook in Accounting.
