The Career Key’s new 2011 list of promising careers helps people choose careers with a positive job outlook and a living wage that fits their personality. When used with Career Key’s popular valid career test, this list highlights promising careers in a tough economy while increasing chances of future job satisfaction and success. The list appears as a six post series on The Career Key Blog.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 27, 2011
The list is presented in a 6-part series (all linked together at the end), with one post for each of the six Holland personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Included with the list are “4 Smart Career Planning Strategies” to put it all in perspective.
In developing the list, Career Key defined a “promising career” as one that:
- Requires more training and education beyond a high school diploma,
- Promises a satisfactory or high-growth number of future job openings – a “bright outlook” according to the U.S. Department of Labor,
- Exists in a growth industry or industry found nationwide, and
- Provides a “living wage” job (at least a median of $30,000/year).
Promising careers are organized and classified by Holland’s six personality types and Career Key’s unique work groups. Holland’s Theory of Career Choice is the most popular, researched, and well-respected “trait and factor” career theory used by professional career counselors. The Career Key test is a scientifically valid assessment of Holland’s six personality types.
