Career Planning Workbook
Expansion Module 1: Identifying Interests
The Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour (Saint John), School
District 6 and the Work Room Career Resource Centres have developed a program to
assist students and their parents (or anyone acting in a career coaching capacity) to
create a dialogue about careers and provide tools to assist students in preparing their
career plan. PACE (Plan to Achieve Career Excellence) is divided into 5 sequential
modules that combine to create an effective career plan. This workbook supports the first
module-”Identifying Your Interests” by providing additional information, resources and
activities to help people to identify their interests, skills and life/career goals.
This workbook is designed as an “add-on” resource to be used as part of the main PACE
career planning system. While this is not a required delivery component, it may prove
useful to anyone who requires advanced career support tools to help them to progress to
the next stage of their career plan.
1. Interest Inventory 4
2. Categorizing Your Interests 5
3. Putting it all Together (Holland Codes) 8
4. Tools and Resources 9
5. Industry Clusters 10
6. Wrap Up 11
A support website has been developed to provide additional resources. The web pages
are colour-coded to correspond with the information contained in this workbook.
www.setyourownpace.org
The PACE workshop and resources are not intended to be used as a substitute for
professional career counseling. Instead, this workbook allows students and their
parents/career coaches to do their own research and in the event they have questions
concerning career planning, there are resources readily available to assist them.
For parents who are interested in receiving career coaching training, a 60 minute
Introductory Career Coaching Workshop is available through The Work Room Career
Resource Centres and select community partners. Expansion modules (such as this one)
are available for those who complete the introductory workshop. For more information on
PACE and related career products, workshops and resource material please visit:

Putting it all Together
The previous exercise is based on a theory of careers and vocational choice formulated by
psychologist John L. Holland. Holland Codes (RIASEC) represent a set of personality types
but does not assume that a person is just one type or that there are "only six types of people
in the world." Instead, he assumed that any person could be described as having interests
associated with each of the six types in a descending order of preference. When applying
this theory is applied in interest inventories and career planning, it is usually only the two or
three most dominant codes that are used. This can be represented graphically in the form
of a hexagon.
The six personality types relate to each
other in different ways. Some compliment
each other while others frequently cause
conflict because they are so dissimilar.
The shorter the distance between their
corners on the hexagon, the more closely
they are related. For example Artistic
people are most like Social and
Investigative people and least like
Conventional people.
The diagram also demonstrates how the
different personality types prefer to work
with different stimuli: people, data, things,
and ideas.
The previous exercise was not an official assessment or quiz but an exercise modified from
the Holland Code Career Model to help you narrow down your interests into more
manageable categories. By doing so, it may direct you towards your career goals quicker
and easier.
It is important to remember that every person requires a blend of all these personality types
to be successful in their life. This exercise demonstrates what areas of your personality you
are most comfortable with and come naturally to you.
Over time you may find that your job, training and/or life experience may cause your
personality preferences to change.

Personality Dimensions
®
is a dynamic tool that builds on the foundations of temperament
theories that spans 25 centuries. It emphasizes the self-discovery process, and uses a
highly effective “edu-tainment” model to help participants understand their personality
preferences in a fun and informative environment.
Personality Dimensions
®
is based on leading-edge research into human motivation and
behaviour and helps to explain what motivates behaviour in people with different
personalities or temperaments. This interactive human relations and communications
process enhances the basic values of self-esteem, dignity and self-worth.
The introductory workshop is 3 hours in duration and can be offered in a school setting or
to the public in a group format. Select Work Rooms can provide this service as there are
two licensed facilitators on staff who can provide the training.
Additional application workshops are also available that address topics such as team
building, communication, self esteem and career planning.
For more information on how Personality Dimensions® can compliment your PACE training
please contract your local Work Room Career Resource Centre www.careersthatwork.ca.
Successful completion of PACE (and this module) are not dependant on attending a
Personality Dimensions
®
workshop. This is just one of many additional resources that
support the PACE career planning process.
Here are some other options that can be effective.
Personal journal
Keep track of your activities for the next couple of weeks. Write down the places you went,
things you did, people you hung out with and past times (movies, tv, videogames, sports,
etc). Review your journal at the end of a couple of weeks to discover how you enjoy
spending your time. This may give you insight into your interests and give you a starting
point for your career plan.
Consult your social network
Who knows you better than the people in your social network (friends, family, teachers and
employers)? Ask them for their perceptions of the things you like to do and suggestions of
careers that may compliment their interests. You don’t have to act on their
recommendations as you are only collecting information at this point. They may have
unique insights that you may not have considered.
Vocational testing
If you are really stuck and can’t think of things that interest you, you may benefit from
consulting your high school guidance counsellor about doing more formalized vocational
testing and interest inventories to help find a good starting point for your career planning.

jobs that would be found in each industry cluster. Some clusters are very similar, so
you may notice overlap in the types of jobs found under each classification.

Many resource tools will be introduced to assist people in doing effective research.
PACE participants will be provided access to the online Career Cruising program which
will provide ongoing research support 24/7.
Participants will be encouraged to narrow down their prospective career options to a
few manageable alternatives that they can put into an effective action plan.
