Map Your Career

Career mapping you say? Don't mind if I do. Although I am not a finance major, I am here to inform you all about this cool online website that will help you map your way! Finance is woven into every job opportunity and they even need marketing, IT, and human resource people in the financial industry.

The quiz was created by the CFA Institute and a student marketing agency. This offers career options, instead of specific recommendations. (Like one time when Ali took a career test and it told her she would be a great funeral director). CFA has created a quiz different than the one we took in middle school that gives us more insight.

The quiz asks questions about leadership, creativity, communication, etc. In the end after answering the ten questions, I was presented with an answer. Research analyst. Funny that should be my answer, really. With my summer internship I will be doing some of the duties of a research analyst. A quick section of the summary read, "Common sense, commercial savvy and an ability to take a view and argue your case against challenges are also valuable qualities." That's always nice to hear. Thanks, survey.

If you want to see some insight into career opportunities, financial or not, take a look at the quiz. You know you would click on it if it was on Buzzfeed about "Which 80's Song Are You?" or "Which Character From Mean Girls Are You?"

Take the few minutes to take the quiz, it is worth it!
