By the way, the purpose of step 2 is to answer the question: What are your preferred people-environments that you most like to work with, or serve and help?
According to Dr. John Holland, everyone has 3 preferred people-environments out of 6 principle ones: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional
The purpose of all this is to emphasize the importance of not only what you will do on the job but the types of people you will be around all the time. I'm glad this is in here because it does matter who you work with - it can make your day fun or torture.
My Holland Code was: EIS (Enterprising, Investigative, Social)
Accordingly to the Career Interest Game, I should be a: Human Resources, Training, and Labor Relations Managers and Specialists.
Although you don't take this same interest assessment in the book, the author created an abbreviated version of it and calls it 'The Party Game'. Basically it has each of the 6 people-environments in their own corner and it asks you to identify which one you would gravitate towards first at a party. Then, if everyone from that group left, which group would you go to next and then one last time so you end up with 3 preferred people-environments. I went ahead and played 'The Party Game' and came up with the reverse of my Holland Code that I received playing the Career Interests Game: SIE
Same environments, different order, interesting...
The book encourages you to write a temporary statement of your future job or career using your Holland code as your guide.
I am looking for a job or career where I can be around people who perform, positively influence others, like to investigate and problem solve but most importantly, help and inspire others to live and be well.
