Introduction Kym, this career profile is part of your Career Development Program at school. It is designed to help you identify your strengths, interests and preferences, and to help you get started in researching some potential career options for when you leave school. The information in this report is based on the Career Profiling assessment that you recently completed with Career Avenues. The aim of the profile is to help you: Understand how you are different Appreciate your strengths Focus on your interests Evaluate your transferable skills Stimulate your thinking about possible exciting career ideas This profile is divided into five sections: 1. Your Personal Style 2. Your Different Reasoning Strengths 3. Your Transferable Skills Self-Assessment 4. Your Career Interest Groups at this point in time 5. Your Career Lists to Research 1. Your Personal Style The following profile has been prepared for you, Kym, based on your answers to the Career Avenues Type for Teenagers (CATT) questionnaire. This is a personal preferences questionnaire based on the personality preferences described by Carl Jung, and developed further by Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs. Remember, this is a generalised profile which identifies preferences rather than skills and abilities. No personality type is better or worse each has its own gifts. Your personal style should tell you about the kind of work environment and work focus that are likely to work best for you. Your Personality code was ISFJ. These were your scores on each of the 4 dimensions: External 3 Internal 5 Sensing 8 intuitive 7 Thinking 3 Feeling 13 Judging 17 Perceiving 2 The CATT highlights people as having one of 4 key orientations depending on Dimensions 2 and 3. Benefactor / Realist / Idealist / Theorist. It then further divides people into a four specialisations within each of these using Dimensions 1 and 4. Your profile is described on the following pages and will be discussed in your feedback session.. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 2 MLC 2018

Your General Orientation is Benefactor You are a Benefactor because you show personal warmth and sympathy and are likely to enjoy providing practical help and services for people. This means that you are sympathetic and friendly and like to help people in practical ways. REALISTS PREFER CAREERS THAT Are based on dependable facts which can be learnt and applied Allow objective analysis and logical thinking Are practical and reliable Use proven methods Based on real things rather than vague theories OBJECTIVE (Things) THEORISTS PREFER CAREERS THAT Encourage looking for possibilities and implications from a logical, analytical viewpoint Allow strategizing, planning, building systems to accomplish goals or solve problems Are intellectually challenging and give feedback Don t involve too much detail Allow autonomy, complex problems to solve REALISTS ST WAYS OF DECIDING THEORISTS NT FACT & DETAIL WAYS OF NOTICING CONCEPTS BENEFACTORS SF IDEALISTS NF BENEFACTORS PREFER CAREERS THAT... Depend on real information that is clear and dependable Allow caring and consideration of others Are social and positive Allow work in a supportive team Allow recognition and appreciation Have harmonious work environments SUBJECTIVE (People) IDEALISTS PREFER CAREERS THAT... Allow exploration of meanings, relationships, possibilities, personal development Help others grow Have room for communicating and being a catalyst for positive change Encourage motivating others to work and resolving conflict Don t have too much criticism www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 3 MLC 2018

Benefactors like: Using tried and true methods Applying experience to practical jobs Sharing work equitably Developing charts that documents each person s skills or needs Reviewing plans and materials others have formulated to see what works best Specifically you are a Benefactor - Nurturer Further you are what we term a Benefactor Nurturer because you can take on responsibility and connect warmly and personally with others. Benefactor Nurturers like to reflect on people s needs and then organise things to implement solutions. BENEFACTOR - NURTURER Organiser Getting things rolling Implementing ideas Setting their own goals NURTURER Reflector Reflecting within oneself Preferring quiet time alone Taking time to consider [CAREGIVER] [PRODUCER] Interactor Discussing with others Interacting Formulating ideas while talking [MOTIVATOR] Explorer Exploring ideas Being creative Being patient Benefactor Nurturers like to reflect on people s needs and then organise things to implement solutions. This means you are likely to: be quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious be loyal, considerate, perceptive and concerned with how other people feel are a sympathetic listener work devotedly to meet your obligations be thorough, painstaking and accurate www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 4 MLC 2018

be patient with necessary details, even though your interests may not be technical be extremely dependable and devotedly accept responsibilities beyond the call of duty have a complete, realistic, and practical respect for the facts be able to remember and use any number of facts, but want them all accurate prefer everything clearly stated. You: are thorough, painstaking, hard-working and patient with particulars and procedures can and will do the "little" things that need to be done to carry a project through to completion show perseverance which tends to stabilise everything with which you are connected do not enter into things impulsively, but once in, you are very hard to distract or discourage a real team player do not quit unless experience convinces you that you are wrong lend stability to any project or group. When you see from the facts that something needs to be done, you pause to think about it. If you decide that action will be helpful, you accept the responsibility. Your private reactions are often vivid and intense, and sometimes quite unpredictable to others. These private reactions seldom show in your face, and even when dealing with a crisis, you can look calm and composed. Not until you are known very well do others discover that behind your outer calm, you are looking at things from an intensely individual angle, often a delightfully humorous one. When you are "on-duty" and dealing with the world, however, your behaviour is sound and sensible. To function best you need: An orderly work environment with human interaction. You like opportunities to respond to the needs of others. You like harmonious relationships, praise and appreciation. You are frustrated by: Criticism and injustice. You dislike having to stop in the middle of a project. You also do not tolerate too much complexity or cold, impersonal logic. On a team: You care and do the work. Preferred work environment: Contains conscientious people working on well structured tasks Provides security Clearly structured Calm and quiet Efficient Allows for privacy Service-oriented Your Learning Style Although you focus on the facts, you will probably learn faster if you are given examples which allow you to personalise what is presented and compare it to past experiences. You like to see a human application in what you are learning. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 5 MLC 2018

You probably learn best: through concrete methods such as workbooks requiring memorizing by organising factual material by reviewing material in a structured way using a logical sequential process so that you go through new material step by step following the details and understanding each step as you go through visual and real observations in a learning environment that is more practical and applied than theoretical by being given specific examples and comparisons when learning theories when learning facts and details rather than general ideas. Your Transferable Skills Benefactor - Nurturers are likely to develop the following transferable skills: be able to use their depth of concentration, their interest in facts, their warmth and sympathy, and their ability to organise be good at nurturing or healing others have a strong sense of duty, personal commitment and practicality in which they can support and be of service to others be able to work hard behind the scenes to ensure things are running smoothly be highly dependable and carry the job through to the end be able to work with a practical work focus where they can see tangible results and be able to work one-to-one well, rather than with large groups. Benefactor - Nurturers are more often found in areas such as: teaching, particularly primary teaching medical fields with high patient contact such as family medicine, physiotherapy and nursing hospitality management and welfare and social service work. They are less often found in careers requiring: o high levels of analytical work o ongoing attention to theoretical, abstract and symbolic information o continual adaption and frequent change and o a more distant or analytical approach to people. (This material is taken from the literature on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and the career information is taken from the work of Charles Martin, in his publication, Looking at Type and Careers, available from the Institute of Type Development (http://www.itd.net.au). www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 6 MLC 2018

2. Your Problem Solving Skills The results given in this section show how you went on Career Avenues (CA) Differential Reasoning Assessments. These tests given you an indication of how well your problem solving in different areas is developed at this point in time. Remember, your academic results are also very important and they will be the deciding factor in gaining a place in most courses, should you choose further study. The CA tests represent how you went at a particular point in time. Academic results also show you how you have achieved over time. With this in mind, your problem solving skills as assessed by the different timed measures are set out in the following paragraphs. The numbers you are given below are ranks, not the number you had correct on each test. The rank for each test show that you had a score that was as high or higher than that percentage of Australian students in your school year group. These ranks have been developed over 10 years of testing with over 40,000 individuals. In each section below, we have explained which skills are particularly relevant for different career areas. Ranking: 1 24 May need improvement if you are 35 64 Very Sound 75 90 Excellent wanting to build a career on this area 25 34 Fair 65 74 High 91-99 Outstanding 2.1 Abstract Problem Solving The abstract or non-verbal reasoning test was one in which you had to say which of the options was the next logical pattern in the series of patterns. That is, you had to choose the next pattern in the sequence. This is a test which reflects your: capacity to be adaptable in your thinking flexibility in how you approach problems speed of learning in a new situation mental agility in solving problems capacity to handle conceptual or theoretical as distinct from practical or applied thinking tasks Career Relevance Abstract Reasoning is related to any career involving complex problem solving. Abstract Reasoning Example Item A pattern or sequence develops across the page to the right. You have to select which of the alternative answers best continues the pattern or sequence. The answer would be (b). Kym, your Abstract Reasoning rank was above that of 55 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was Very Sound compared to people in your age group. You learn with moderate speed, can deal with problems of some difficulty level and have sound problem solving skills. You may take some time to adjust to new learning situations, but once competent in area you perfect the skill. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 7 MLC 2018

2.2 Verbal Problem Solving The Verbal Reasoning test was based on logic and language. It measure ones: understanding of the complexities of the English language extended knowledge of word meanings ability to think analytically in words, and clarity of thinking using words and word-based arguments. Career Relevance Verbal skills are very important as a basis for university studies, especially in areas requiring a lot of reading and verbal analysis such as law and journalism. Verbal Reasoning Example Item: AUTHOR has the same relationship to BOOK as COMPOSER has to: A. concert B. play C. symphony D. musician E. instrument The answer is (c) symphony. As an author writes a book (a piece of literature), a composer writes a symphony (a piece of music). Your Verbal Reasoning rank was above that of 93 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was at the Outstanding level. You are able to recognise relationships within verbally presented material and to deal with very complex verbal content. You should be able to express your ideas and information clearly and effectively in both spoken and written form, and to analyse written arguments. 2. Numerical Problem Solving This is a test which measures your ability to reason and solve problems with numbers. It shows: how well one can undertake reasonably complex computational and statistical tasks one s capacity to process numerical information ability to think it terms of number patterns and to solve numerically based problems. Career Relevance Strong scores on this test would be important for careers requiring complex mathematical calculation such as engineering and statistics. Numerical Reasoning Example Item: You can buy a shirt for $40 and get a second one for half the price of the first one. How much would you pay for 2 shirts? A. $60 B. $80 C. $50 D. $70 The answer is (A) $60, being $40 for the first shirt, added to $20 for the second. Kym, your Numerical Reasoning rank was above that of 70 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was High. You have a good "feel" for numbers and can work through numerical problems of moderate difficulty and think in terms of numbers, as long as you have adequate time to do so. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 8 MLC 2018

2.4 Attention to Detail This was the number and name checking test. The Attention to Detail test assesses one s: ability to attend to fine detail accuracy of processing rather than complexity of processing speed of comprehension and how quickly someone can orientate themselves to a detail task and respond to it Career Relevance Attention to Detail is very important for many business and administrative jobs, as well as a range of careers in scientific and other technical areas. Attention to Detail Example Item: Are the numbers or name the same or not? Colour under the Y for Yes, or the N for No. Y N 2437... 2437 Kim Leong..... Kim Liong Kym, your Clerical Speed and Accuracy rank was above that of 75 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this measure was at an Excellent level compared to people of your age group. This means that you have very strong attention to detail. You are able to orientate yourself quickly to new situations, and to process information quickly, attending accurately to detail. You would be very competent at dealing with tasks requiring orientation to detail. 2.5 Physical Problem Solving This test is designed to assess how well people understand the physical world. It uses picture based questions which ask about the physical and mechanical processes we are exposed to every day, such as the influence of gravity, leverage and fluid flow. It measures one s: potential for solving problems based on physical forces and processes and assesses one s understanding and knowledge of mechanical operations. Career Relevance Sound skills in this areas are important for many practical and technical occupations such as: engineer technical and trades careers other physics-related careers some sports and health related areas Physical Reasoning Example Item Which stool will last longer? (If you can t tell, answer C) The answer is B. A B Your Physical Reasoning rank was above that of 40 percent of your peer population. Your performance in this area was Very Sound compared to people in your age group. This means that you have a good set of skill development in physical reasoning and that careers involving practical mechanical reasoning should be well within your capability. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 9 MLC 2018

2.6 Spatial Problem Solving In the Spatial Reasoning test, you had to mentally fold up some shapes or nets to imagine what they would look like, folded into an object. In other items you had to choose what shape a figure would unfold into. These items assess one s potential to: visualise and mentally manipulate objects in three dimensions imagine how an object would look if made from a given pattern or plan identify how a specified object would look if rotated in a given way manipulate objects and plans mentally, and create a structure in one s mind from a plan Career Relevance Spatial Reasoning is an ability needed in design and construction fields such as architecture, carpentry, building and fashion. It is needed whenever there is a need to visualise objects in three dimensions, or develop or read from a plan or working diagram which represents something in three dimensions. There are also design areas which rely more on two dimensional manipulation and that may not always require high levels of spatial skills, such as graphic design and fabric design. Spatial Reasoning Example Item Look at the figure on the left. Which of the boxes on the right would it fold into? The colours will stay on the outside of the figure. Only one answer is correct and the 3 dimensional figures m ay have been rotated to any presentation. Your Spatial Reasoning rank was above that of 55 percent of your peer population. Your performance on this test was Very Sound compared to people of your age. This means you would generally be able to visualize designs in three dimensions from working plans and to create plans from your own ideas. 2.7 Problem Solving Skills Summary The graph below shows your relative problem solving skills in each of the areas discussed above. Abstract Reasoning Verbal Reasoning Numerical Reasoning Attention to Detail Physical Reasoning Spatial Reasoning www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 10 MLC 2018

3. Transferable Skills : Self-Assessment As part of your Career Profile you also completed our brief self-assessment on your transferable employability skills. These are a core set of skills and abilities which can be applied to a wide range of different jobs and industries. People usually pick them up over time and develop them through many different activities such as school, hobbies, sports, voluntary work and paid jobs as well as through interacting with family and friends. They are becoming increasingly important to use in your Resume. Our Employability Skills Self-Assessment is based on ideas presented in a book prepared by the Business Group Australia (The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and The Business Council of Australia), entitled Employability Skills for the Future which identified general skills employers may look for. The graph below summarises your answers. The maximum you could have given any one skill was 20. There are certainly many more transferable skills than we have identified here. However this is a start to help you recognise what you already have going for you in getting ready for your career. 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Transferable Skills You can see from the graph which skills are your top transferable skills. Make a note of these and think about the career areas for which they might be important. You don t need to develop all of the skills in the list. However, you might like to note any skills that you do think are important and you want to develop further. You can also relate these skills back to your personal style transferable skills. Taking the Initiative: Critical Thinking Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying and analyzing information and coming up with new insights and solutions using your own thought processes. It is very important in some work roles. Leading & Organizing Skills This skill is about how comfortable and effective you are at taking on leadership roles and in getting things done on time and ensuring deadlines are met.

Teamwork Skills Teamwork is concerned with how well you can work as part of a team and also much you enjoy the team situation. It looks at how you help other team members and whether you normally get on well with the others in a team. Many work situations involve working as part of a team. However others value working independently. Digital Initiative Digital Literacy Digital literacy is about how comfortable you are in the digital age from reading online to evaluating websites, creating a video and loading it onto YouTube and managing electronic communications. These skills are increasingly important in most work situation. Resilience/ Adaptability Adaptability Adaptability or resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma and tragedy, and other sources of stress, including family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors. It means bouncing back from difficult experiences. People who remain optimistic about the future and maintain a positive outlook on life have higher degrees of resilience. Physical Expression Hand-Eye Coordination Skills These skills are important for any career involving using your hands from trades and technical areas to being a surgeon or veterinary specialist. It is about how precisely you can use and manipulate your movements. Sporting Skills Sports skills is about your performance and commitment to any particular sport. It is also about how passionate you are about sports and being involved in them. Creative Expression These skills are about how creative you are in various artistic pursuits such as art, dance, music, acting etc. Your passion and commitment to these areas is also important if you are interested in a creative career. Remember there are also other transferable skills to add to your list both from the Personality section and the Reasoning Skills section of this report. www.careeravenues.com.au P a g e 12 MLC 2018
