I need a free career placement test that for a teen?

We Answered:

I have found this test that is pretty helpful. You answer some questions about yourself and what you like to do and it spits out careers you would probably do well at. These types of tests are usually right on with your personality and strengths and weaknesses. I hope this is what you were looking for.

What's a good website to find career opportunities?

We Answered:

I just got out of the Air Force and if you really want to be a chef, don't join the Air Force for the training, but only if you need the money for the college. "Chefs" in the Air Force are more like cooks at a buffet restaurant. They open boxes of pre-made food and maybe add some spices then warm it up.

Plus the cooks at the Air Force dining halls are actually members of the "services" career field. They are trained to work at the dining hall, at the gym, or in the morgue with dead bodies. So you may be a cook for a year then hand out basketballs at the gym and wipe off sweaty weight benches for another year.

To be a surgeon in the Air Force, you actually have to be a doctor already, which means that you have to go to medical school before joining the Air Force. If you enlist in the medical field, you will be more like a nurse. You will take blood, give shots, take blood pressure etc.

If you are dead set on joining the Air Force, either go to college first whether through ROTC or not, then join as an officer. If you enlist, enlist for 4 years, see the world, get some skills and info for your resume, get the college money MGIB, then get out.

Where can I find career help?

We Answered:

Have you ever thought of going into as a real estate investor? You don't need a license or certification but you need knowledge and a good credit score. Try buying one of these books to learn more about this venture because it is lucrative and profitable if you know what you're doing. Plus, most of the work can be done online so you can stay home with your kid.

Where can I find career information for 911 operators?

We Answered:

Contact your local Civil Service Department to find out what their requirements are. But I know that you have to have skills in multitasking, being calm and you have to take several tests and you have to have hours of training. It's not easy but it's worth it if you like this kind of thing.
I hope this helps.

Where can I find career possibilities with my particular degree?

We Answered:

Since you didn't tell us what your degree is ... Zucker has the right idea.

Get back in touch with your school / department. Or their Career Center. They should be able to point different paths out to you.

You might be able to find some info out from the Department of Labor also. Or try searching Monster with your degree and see what results you get.

And, sometimes, it's more important to have a degree than what it is in ...


***OH someone else posted this - you'll need to look for your degree, but this is from DOL:
