Using Adult Directions |

To get the maximum benefit
and a range of career ideas try to answer the questions in a
definite way - use the does not matter response sparingly. |
| • |
The results will be clearer the
more positive and negative responses you select. |
| • |
You can change your answers to
questions or enter your own ideas to see how they alter or match
up with the ideas generated. |
| • |
Be careful when choosing occupational
levels as this will rule out certain careers. If in doubt select
all occupational levels. |
| • |
You can print out a list of suggested
careers, detailed information on specific careers and a summary
of your answers. All of these could be useful in further discussions
with a nextstep adviser. |
