I don’t like working on weekends.

 Find the Job That’s Right for You!

• Nearly 50% of all workers in the united states have jobs they aren’t happy with. Don’t let
this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t rush to look through the classified
ads in the newspapers. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of person are
you? What makes you happy?
• According to psychologist John Holland, there are 6 types of personalities. Nobody is just
one personality type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain
jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong. Considering your personality
type can help you make the right job decision.

Six types of personalities by John Holland:

1. The realistic type : Practical and likes working with machines and tools.
2. The investigative type : curious and likes to learn, analyze situations, and solve
problems.
3. The artistic : imaginative and likes to express him/herself by creating art.
4. The social : friendly and likes helping or training other people.
5. The enterprising : outgoing and likes to persuade or lead other people.
6. The conventional : careful and likes to follow routines and keep track of details.

So, what personality do you think you are?
