Leung-LokYin-6155-P-Futurewise Report

  1. 1. Pre-interview report Lok Yin Leung Bath Academy 3rd October 2013
  2. 2. Welcome to your Futurewise Programme! Welcome to Futurewise! You are now part of the Futurewise Programme - this began when you sat your psychometric assessments and will continue until your 23rd birthday. This is your pre-interview report – it has been generated as a result of the psychometric assessments you completed. Inside you will find personalised feedback on your profile, along with suggestions which will help to guide you through researching potential careers, making subject and course choices, and preparing for higher education or employment. Our aim is to increase your awareness and understanding of your abilities, personality and interests so that you can, with the help of your qualified careers adviser, meaningfully explore your career options and make confident and accurate decisions about your future. What happens next... The next part of your Futurewise programme will be your interview. Before this happens, we suggest that you read your report carefully and prepare a few notes or questions based on the feedback in this report. You might want to ask about career suggestions that interest you or subjects and courses that you’re not sure about. There is a section in the back of this report for you to write down your questions and comments. After your interview, you will receive a final version of your report, including the specific recommendations from your careers adviser. And then… Your report is the foundation of many other benefits now that you are a Futurewise member. There are other resources that will be available for you, including your own personalised Futurewise web space with a number of resources and tools, access to a wide range of Futurewise courses and events, and access to our Information, Advice and Guidance helpline. More information about these will be given in your final report following your interview.
  3. 3. Page 1 Introduction This report gives you a picture of your personality, career interests and abilities. It is based on the assessments and questionnaires you did and is written to help you think about who you are, what excites you, and how this can guide you in your choice of school subjects, higher education and career. Obviously the report cannot cover everything about you and sometimes you may want to question the results or suggestions it makes. You can do this with your careers adviser who can help you to work out whether the report has missed out something important, or if there are things that you have not thought about that it would be useful to talk through. More about the report The career suggestions are based on all your Futurewise Profiling results. But of course you are unique and what works for others may not work for you. This means that the suggestions are the beginning, rather than the end of a journey. On the pages that follow, you will see a number of charts. These are designed to give you a visual overview of your results, but more specific detail is given in the sections that follow to help you understand your results. A The big picture Charts that show your results at a glance Page 2 B Overview Summary of your results Page 4 C You and work Aspects of the world of work that may suit you Page 7 D You and learning Your preferred approach to learning Page 10 E You and careers Career suggestions linked to your results Page 12 F You and subject choice How your subject choices match your career suggestions Page 17
  4. 4. Page 2 A The big picture Your Personality Style This is your pattern of personality preferences. The charts below show these for each of the four personality dimensions which were assessed. In each case, your preference is indicated by the longest bar. Since no questionnaire or assessment can be perfectly accurate, the bars in the diagrams are shown with white line markers at the right-hand side. These lines indicate the range for each score. For each scale, your actual score will lie within the region covered by the line. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where your energy comes from What you pay attention to How you decide to do something How you like to live your life People & things in the world around you Your own ideas, thoughts and emotions Your experience & what your senses tell you Patterns, connections & future possibilities By using thinking, logic & the facts By using feelings, values & what seems fair Being organised and having a plan of action Letting things happen and seeing where it takes you
  5. 5. Page 3 Your General Aptitudes This is your pattern of aptitudes compared to students who remain in full-time education (studying A Level/IB/Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or equivalent) post-16. The first three bars show your aptitude at interpreting numbers, words and reasoning with abstract patterns. The second three bars show how accurately you were able to remember and follow complex sets of instructions, and to respond quickly and accurately. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Numerical Verbal Abstract Memory Accuracy Decision making Using numbers to solve everyday problems Using logic to understand written information Using patterns to test ideas & thoughts Remembering instructions Working through problems accurately Making choices quickly & accurately Your Career Interests The chart below shows your pattern of career interests. This highlights your level of interest in different areas of the world of work. As we go on to explain in the next section, these measures will provide a useful starting point for your career exploration. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Realistic Investigative Artistic Social Enterprising Conventional Interested in machines, ‘hands-on’ & outdoor work Interested in theories, ideas, research & science Interested in self-expression, creative & artistic activities Interested in teamwork, supporting & helping people Interested in business, managing & influencing people Interested in organising information, numbers & details
  6. 6. Page 4 B Overview This part of the report gives an overview of your personality, career interests and abilities. Your Personality Style Your personality shapes the way you think, feel and behave. We all have a typical style which describes the way we usually come across to other people. Looking at what you say you prefer to do, here is a short description of your style: You are probably the sort of person who is thorough and hard working. You like to work on your skills until you can do something really well. When you are in charge you are likely to try hard to get things organised and make sure that people know what they are doing. When you want to get things done you can find being with other people a bit distracting which means that you can enjoy working independently. You will find more information on this personality style and how it relates to work in the next section. It is important to remember that things like personality and interests can change as you get older. So when you read this report bear in mind that it is talking about you now, not what you may be like in a number of years time. Your General Aptitudes These are your ‘thinking skills’ - for example whether you are good with numbers (numerical aptitude), words (verbal aptitude), or patterns (abstract aptitude) - and when you have the choice, which of these you prefer to use. • Numerical aptitude is about understanding graphs, charts and tables of numbers, and using these to solve everyday problems. • Verbal aptitude is about understanding written information and working out what follows logically from what you have just read. • Abstract aptitude is about exploring shapes and patterns, being able to work out what they mean, and to use what you have learnt to understand new patterns.
  7. 7. Page 5 Compared to students who remain in full-time education (studying A Level/IB/Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or equivalent) post-16, you show a high level of numerical aptitude. You should be good at dealing with numbers. Your abstract and verbal scores are both in the average range. These results suggest you: • have an ability for dealing with numbers and quantities and checking things with calculations. • can generally look at written material in a logical way and decide what it really means. • are usually able to switch between different levels of detail to understand patterns of information. • Memory is about how confident you are in your ability to remember instructions. • Accuracy is about how successful you are at following different sets of instructions. • Decision-making is about being quick and accurate as things get more and more complicated. Compared to students who remain in full-time education (studying A Level/IB/Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or equivalent) post-16, your results for memory and attention show a low level of confidence in your ability to remember instructions and a high level of ability to work accurately. You have an average result for decision making. Overall this suggests that you: • tend to find it difficult to remember sets of instructions, or like to double-check to make sure that you have got them right, but • find it easy to accurately follow instructions. • can make decisions which are usually both quick and accurate. Your Career Interests Your career interests give clues as to what you might like to do. Looking at the six different areas of work assessed through the questionnaire you completed, these are the two that seem to interest you the most: Conventional careers are all about being organised and wanting to get the details right. Careers in this area often suit people who like planning, organising information, working things out and using numbers. But of course having to be organised and paying attention to the details is important for many different jobs.
  8. 8. Page 6 Investigative careers involve thinking about, looking at, and trying to make sense of different sorts of information. This is the type of thing that is part of many scientific or technical jobs. Careers in this area often suit people who want to know how things work and involve activities like writing, working in a laboratory, and research. And this is the area that seems to interest you the least: Artistic careers focus on being able to express yourself, and are concerned with artistic, creative and design activities. Careers in this area often suit people who enjoy activities like performing, creating and writing, as well as looking for different ways of understanding and describing the world. Asking yourself what interests you the most tells you something useful about yourself. However, sometimes your career areas may not seem to go together. This does not mean there is a problem, rather that you may be interested in a broad range of activities. Your interests also need to be thought about together with your personality. And again the two things may not always agree with each other. It is perfectly possible to be interested in something which does not immediately seem to match your personality. Bear this in mind when reading more about your personality in the next section.
  9. 9. Page 7 C You and work Your personality affects how you get on with other people and deal with everyday situations. Someone’s personality can be thought of in terms of the sorts of things they prefer doing and how they like to do them. You will already have your favourite ways of doing things and, although these might change as you get older, they can be useful to know about as they can tell you what sort of work you might enjoy most. The workplace People with your preferences often like a workplace that is well organised with clear roles and jobs. Too much noise and variety could become distracting as you like to get on with your work in a quiet and organised way. You dislike uncertainty and prefer systems and procedures that lead to a practical result. So you are likely to be happiest in a role where you know what to do and how to achieve it. Working with people This is about being part of a group, and respecting, supporting and helping other people. Your results suggest that you: • tend to be a private person, keeping your personal thoughts to yourself. • can work in a team but may often prefer to get on with things on your own. • prefer to listen than to talk, especially when other people are doing the talking. Persuading people This is about getting people to see your point of view and coming across in a confident manner. Your results suggest that you: • persuade others by quietly presenting the facts. • contribute comments and ideas that are practical and well thought through. • get things done by explaining tasks in a calm and careful way.
  10. 10. Page 8 Planning style This is about thinking through what you are going to do, organising your work, and following plans and directions. Your results suggest that you: • tend to think ahead and follow a plan. • keep your eye on what needs to be done and are concerned with the details that others may miss. • make sure you do the right things at the right time. Making decisions This is about getting things to happen and taking responsibility for your actions. Your results suggest that you: • will take calculated risks when you know all the facts. • tend to need time to think and do not like being forced into action. • like to make clear decisions rather than waiting to see what happens. Getting results This is about having the drive to finish what you have started and wanting to do your best. Your results suggest that you: • like to see things through rather than jumping between various jobs. • want everything to be completed to your high standards. • need to finish what you have started before going on to the next thing.
  11. 11. Page 9 Being creative This is about searching for new ideas and experiences and being open to different ways of doing things. Your results suggest that you: • work to improve others’ ideas more often than producing your own. • can take some persuading to try something new. • bring much needed common sense when people come up with new (and sometimes unusual) ideas. Putting your personality and interests together Your personality and top two career interests can be put together to provide extra information. For example, your personality may be a good fit with the sort of work suggested by your interests. When they 'agree' in this way it is useful to pay greater attention to what they appear to be saying about you. They may also 'disagree'. If they do, it is a good idea to see how your personality might affect your interests. For example, you might be interested in jobs which involve organising things, but also be the sort of person that likes to make last minute changes. If your personality style is combined with your top two interests, they agree that you: • like to have a timetable to gets things done. • get work done in steady manner. • are happy working in an orderly and structured environment. And you: • prefer to decide for yourself what to do. • get pleasure from becoming an expert in something. • enjoy questioning how the world works.
  12. 12. Page 10 D You and learning We all like to learn in different ways; and sometimes we prefer to learn in one way in one situation and in another way in a different situation. Understanding what you prefer to do can help you to build better learning skills and to make the most of your potential. It can help you: • Choose between different school subjects and how you might approach them • Understand the styles of teaching that you are likely to respond to the best • Make decisions about any further learning that you might enjoy. But most importantly, once you know what you prefer to do, you can also work on ways of developing the way you learn, so that you can try learning in different ways. Research tells us that people tend to use one of four different approaches to learning most of the time. Your current preference is for a ‘clarifying’ approach: This is about gathering facts and details and giving yourself plenty of time to think. You probably also prefer working at your own pace and asking lots of questions so that you know what to do. It is likely that you will enjoy taking things to the next level and thinking about the wider possibilities. In the diagram on the next page, your own preferred approach to learning is shown by the cut-out section of the circle. The other sections of the circle show different approaches. We recommend that you read through the the other sections of the circle, as these show the full range of different approaches to learning. It has been shown that each one of these is necessary to making learning real, memorable and complete. Think about what has been highlighted as your preference, as you will naturally gravitate towards one of the stages, but also keep in mind how you could develop the other areas to achieve a ‘fuller’ learning experience.
  13. 13. Page 11 Your learning circle • Having complex ideas to work on • Thinking about the possibilities • Discovering new ways of doing things • Studying models & theories • Doing things differently • Thinking about the future • Learning by trial and error • Discussing things with other people • Looking for practical tasks • Moving fast & working quickly • Being part of a group or team • Plenty of energy and excitement • Asking lots of questions • Gathering facts & details • Having space to think • Working at your own pace CLARI FYING GNIT A VITCA GNIR O LPXE INNOV ATING But what about the other ways of learning? To develop in these areas you may want to spend more time: • just trying things and seeing what happens. • being prepared to change course if a better idea comes up. The way you like to learn can also change the way in which you apply your interests. Look back at the section on your interests and think about the parts that attract you the most - is this because they fit most naturally with your learning approach?
  14. 14. Page 12 E You and careers Career suggestions As you continue to explore the world of work and what sort of career to pursue, it will be important to understand how well a job might fit with you as a person. This section looks at possible jobs, taking into account your aptitude scores, your interests and your personality, to give you a clearer view of careers that might be worth researching further. In the table below, you will see fifteen jobs that appear to fit well with your profile. For each job, you can see the Job Family that it belongs to and both the overall and individual matches with your personality, aptitudes and interests. Job Title Overall match Match with personality, aptitudes and interests(Job Family) Average High Very high Average High Very high Education Welfare Officer (Social Service & Guidance) Youth Worker (Social Service & Guidance) Probation Service Officer (Social Service & Guidance) School Nurse (Health & Care) Midwife (Health & Care) Childminder (Health & Care) Secondary Teacher () Personality Aptitudes Interests
  15. 15. Page 13 Continuation of Career Suggestions Table . . . Job Title Overall match Match with personality, aptitudes and interests(Job Family) Average High Very high Average High Very high Educational Psychologist (Social Sciences) Transport Designer (Social Sciences) Special Educational Needs Teacher (Education & Instructors) Riding Instructor (Education & Instructors) Early Years Teacher (Education & Instructors) Optometrist (Health Sciences) Orthoptist (Health Sciences) Audiologist (Health Sciences) Personality Aptitudes Interests
  16. 16. Page 14 Additional Career Suggestions We thought it would also be helpful to show you a range of other jobs that might also be worth exploring. These jobs are shown with the Job Family they belong to and we have indicated the fit with different combinations of your aptitudes, interests or personality. Some of these families and some similar jobs might also appear in the main table and that just indicates that this area is probably worth a look in some detail. If the job or family is new and does not appear in the main suggestions, then it means that there is likely to be a slightly lower fit with either your aptitudes, interests or personality. If a job is one that you are interested in, carefully look at the qualities and skills expected, the type of work involved and the likely entry routes and qualifications required. Other Jobs that match your Career Interests The following jobs all scored highly if you look primarily at your Career Interests as shown in Section A of the Report. Job Title Job Family Fit with Aptitude Fit with Personality Overall Match Housing Officer Business & Facilities Administration •• • •••• Dispensing Optician Laboratory & Medical Technical •• • •••• Pharmacist Health Sciences •• ••• •••• Chiropractor Health Sciences •• • ••• Further Education (FE) Lecturer Education & Instructors •• • ••• Occupational Therapist Therapists •• • •••• Dietitian Therapists •• • ••• Careers Adviser Social Service & Guidance •• • ••• Occupational Psychologist Social Sciences •• • ••• Nurse - Mental Health Health & Care •• • •••
  17. 17. Page 15 Other Jobs that match your Personality We know that certain types of personality are often found in certain jobs. So it’s also useful to look at the fit of jobs with personality and the following jobs all scored highly if you look primarily at your Personality as shown in Section A of the Report. Job Title Job Family Fit with Aptitude Fit with Interest Overall Match Armed Forces Pilot Operators & Traffic Monitoring •• • • Offshore Engineer Technical Specialists •••• • • Gas Network Engineer Technical Specialists ••• • • RAF Officer Emergency Services and Military •• • • Scenes of Crime Officer Laboratory & Medical Technical •• • • Dental Technician Laboratory & Medical Technical •• • • Computer Support Services Engineer Computer & Systems Management •• •• ••• Road Transport Manager Business & Corporate ••• ••• •••• Revenue Officer Inspection & Standards •• • • Maritime Engineer Engineering Specialists ••• • ••
  18. 18. Page 16 Other Jobs that match your Aptitudes To be happy in work, we know that it is also important to find a job that makes best use of your Aptitudes. There are so many different types of work that it is sometimes easier to just think of the sectors that family and friends are already involved in. So the next table tries to help you to think out of the box and focuses primarily on the fit with your own particular aptitudes as shown in Section A of the Report. Job Title Job Family Fit with Interest Fit with Personality Overall Match Town Planner Building Planning & Surveying ••• • ••• School Business Manager Business & Facilities Administration ••• • ••• Process Development Scientist Physical Sciences •• ••• ••• Insurance Broker Sales & Buyers •• ••• ••• Buyer Sales & Buyers •• • ••• Independent Financial Adviser Financial •• ••• ••• Advertising Media Planner Advertising & Marketing •• • ••• Market Research Executive Advertising & Marketing •• • ••• Clinical Psychologist Social Service & Guidance ••• • ••• Ergonomist Social Sciences •• • •• In the real world of work, there are aspects of your suggested careers that you might enjoy and activities that you might not like so much. It is therefore important to talk to your careers advisor to refine your preferences.
  19. 19. Page 17 F You and subject choice This part of the report is about your choice of subjects for further study. Career suggestions and subjects The subjects that are likely to be essential or which may be useful for each of your main career suggestions are listed below and on the following pages. If your main choice of subject doesn’t appear, then please refer to the 'Facilitating Subjects' table in the next section of the report.

  23. 23. Page 21 Considering subjects for further study What you decide to study can have a major impact on your university choices and career options. Many courses at university level build upon knowledge which you will gain whilst still at school. For this reason, some university courses may require you to have studied a specific subject prior to entry, others may not. However, there are some subjects that are required more often than others. What subjects can give you the most options? Subjects that will be able to give you more options are often referred to as ‘facilitating subjects’ and are highly regarded by Russell Group universities. If you are unsure of what you want to study, then choosing some of these subjects may keep a wider range of options open to you at university. Your results Below are two tables to help you see which subjects may be essential or useful for your career suggestions. These tables are just a guide and we would recommend that you discuss your plans with your careers adviser at school. Entry requirements for degree courses can vary from one university to another so you should always check the UCAS and individual university websites for details. The first table below lists the ‘facilitating subjects’ and how they relate to your suggested careers: Subject Currently being studied Selected for higher level Interest level Likely to be essential for Likely to be useful for English Literature No No Little Geography No No Some History No No Some Mathematics No Yes None Optometrist Audiologist Educational Psychologist Optometrist Orthoptist Further Mathematics No No None Biology No No None School Nurse Midwife Educational Psychologist Optometrist Orthoptist Audiologist
