results:
ü On the results page, you’ll see about 25 careers that are considered the “best fit” and a “great fit” for
your interests and the level of preparation you selected. Please note that within each group, the careers
are in alphabetical order, not a rank order.
ü Review different careers by clicking on the link of careers of interest to learn more about it. There’s a
lot of information, so you may want to focus, at least initially, on the “what they do” and “on the job
you would” sections at the top.
ü To learn more about each career, you could review the entire document, including the related careers
and industries in the Explore More section at the bottom right.

3. Since the results don’t tell you what you should do, but what you may like to do, did any options come
up where you can you clearly say “that’s not for me”?
