ONET Paper Georgia J O’Neal College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Grand Canyon University Career Counseling Professor Phillips June 5, 2024
ONET Paper When planning it is important to identify likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Typically, if someone is good at something they have some interest in a career related to those interests. But how do we determine what are just hobbies and what can lead to a solid career path? The utilization of the O*NET Interest profiler utilizes the Holland Code and can determine suitable career opportunities. Additionally, the interest profiler can provide career exploration; an understanding of education requirements; career and salary outlook; and provide counselors with methods to help clients discover their careers and interests (Brown & Lent, 2021). Interest Profiler The Holland Code that is utilized in the interest profiler provides a score for interests in the following categories: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. My results were as follows: realistic with a score of nine; investigative with a score of thirteen; artistic with a score of thirty-nine; social with a score of forty; enterprising with a score of thirteen; and conventional with a score of zero. These results help me understand my interests and how it can properly align me with a career (My Next Move, 2024). Career Opportunities Based on results obtained from the interest profile careers based on the matching interests include those that align with the artistic and social interests. Careers to explore includes Music Therapists, Communication Teachers, and Preschool teachers. While these careers are great; the requirements, educational needs, and outlook are good to look at (My Next Move, 2024). Music Therapists Requirements and Outlook Music therapists require high job preparation due to needing to have at least a bachelor’s degree; however, a master’s degree is typically required. Additionally, this career does require
licensure as they utilize planning, organizing and assessing individuals and their physical, psychological, cognitive, or behaviors. Music therapists utilize the combination of psychology and music to help clients meet their needs. The outlook for music therapist is very bright as it is a specialty that does require higher education and experience. Additionally, salaries range from $41,000 to $125,000; however, the average is $64,000 (My Next Move, 2024). Communication Teachers Requirements and Outlook Communication teachers require extensive job preparation due to the educational requirements of needing a master’s or doctoral degree. This career field would lead to being a communication instructor or professor which includes teaching communications to different organizations, public relations, broadcasting, journalism or human resources. Additionally, a communication teacher would be required to assign and evaluate other’s work. Job outlook for communication teachers is average but new opportunities are likely in the future. The average salary is $80,000; but can range between $48,000 and $160,000 (My Next Move, 2024). Preschool Teachers Requirements and Outlook Preschool teachers require medium job preparation depending on where someone lives and where they plan to work. Most careers related to being a preschool teacher require at least an associates degree or a certification in early childhood education. Preschool teachers create or follow academic curriculum and lesson plans to support, guide, and educate children’s social, physical, and intellectual needs. While the job outlook for this career is average the salary typically runs between $28,000 and $61,000 with an average of $37,000 (My Next Move, 2024).
