Result of Career Interests Profiler and Competencies activities I am getting ready to retire from my first career where I made a very good living and in order to continue with the same quality of life, I need to have a new career that will support the current lifestyle that I am familiar with. The first step for me is to choose a new career and that is why this assignment is so important to me. When I reviewed the results of the Career Interest Profile I was surprised to see so many things resulting from the questionnaire that was a match for me. This will not make choosing a career any easier seeing how I’m interested in almost all the matches that were listed from the profiler results. I was also very interested in what my results were going to be from the competency questionnaire and the results were taking initiative, innovating, delivering results, following instructions, coping with pressure and applying expertise. When I read these results I could not believe how on point they were. These are all things I considered to be some of my strengths that I exercise everyday in my current career. So I thought they would be a fit for Fish and Game Warden and Forest Fire Inspectors and Prevention Specialists for the Forestry Services. Understanding my personal competencies will also help me improve my critical thinking skills. This is accomplished by understanding the personal competencies I already have that are strong and the ones that are weak. Then I will have to identify personal competencies that I will need to improve my critical thinking skills and come up with a plan to develop them. I would also establish a effective way to improve the weaker competencies that I have. Understanding my personal competencies and how to identify new ones needed will help me improve my critical thinking skills. Knowing my competencies helps me evaluate arguments.
