A. S. E. Artistic | Social | Enterprising

Artistic: People in the artistic field are usually original and

individualistic. They enjoy expressing themselves by

creating new things. They prefer nonconformity and

abstract, unstructured working environments. I think that

this describes me and my work values perfectly.

Social: People in the social field are usually very friendly

and outgoing. They enjoy being in groups or around

other people as opposed to working alone. They dislike

routine, highly organized tasks, and details. They would

rather be cooperative and do something that deals with

philosophical and life issues. They are good at relating

to and supporting others. I think that these are all the

qualities that I have and I would love to work in a social

field where I can help influence people’s lives.

Enterprising: People in the enterprising fields are outgoing,

optimistic, and confident. They are ambitious and like to be in

positions of authority. They place high values on power and

money. They are assertive and verbally persuasive. They tend

to dislike scientific activities and systematic thinking. They

avoid activities which require attention to detail and set routine.

I think that some of the enterprising qualities match me but not

completely. I’m not assertive and I usually do not like being the

leader or the center of attention. It would depend on what kind

of a job it is.

Reflect

The career I liked the most is

Advertising and Promotions Manager. I

like this job because it contains all three

aspects of my Holland Code including

Artistic, Social and Enterprising. There

is the business part of it where you

have to advertise and sell a product or

a service. There is also a social aspect

in that you must conduct meetings,

explain ideas, and listen to your clients.

There is also an Artistic side to coming

up with the designs, colors, slogans,

etc. It involves planning and overseeing

a few different things so it will never be

boring or concrete. Personally, in most

of my afterschool clubs, I am always the

one to make signs or posters for events.

I think about where to hang them up,

and what to say on them to attract

other students. It is something I enjoy

doing so I would like this job.

I agree with my Interest and

Style results for this test. The

blue interests involve creativity,

humanities, and quiet jobs while

the yellow style involves working

in orderly settings where there is

little intervention and

unexpected changes. The career

that I liked the most is Website

Designer. I think it combines a

creative and thoughtful aspect

while allowing independent work.

You have more freedom in what

you do and you are responsible

for reflecting a company or

brands image through design.

I think that my results for the career

clusters are completely true. Arts,

Audio/Video Technology and

Communications is my first choice

and fits my personality the best.

Many of the careers I talk about in

this presentation fall under that

cluster. Hospitality and Tourism was

a cluster that I was not aware

existed and I also find that I would

like the jobs that are in it. This gives

me more options to chose from such

as Lodge Manager, Recreational

Advisor, etc. Human Services was

also a part of my results. I think that

this would be a third choice for me

because the emotional pressure and

involvement might be too difficult to

deal with.
