Choosing a course can be confusing and overwhelming to many. One way to help narrow the choices is to find the right fit between your interests and the environment of a particular career path.

Dr. John Holland’s theory places people into 6 different groups based on personality types and occupational interests. Career Assessments often provide 2- 3 letter Code, that identifies the 2-3 areas of highest interest.

Majors and Careers are clustered into 6 broad interest areas that correspond to 6 different personality types. Because personality, majors, and careers are too complex to be described by a single interest theme, you will see that the lists below have an additional code to more accurately describe majors and careers using a combination of related interests (in order of importance).

More and more people are realizing at particular points in their lives that they need a sweeping change, that the career they’ve chosen no longer fulfills them the way it used to.Some people are forced into new careers as a result of downsizing. And many workers are deciding that retirement won’t (or can’t) mean sitting on a beach but instead will involve working..

Choosing a new career can be an enlightening experience—an exercise in learning more about yourself and an opportunity to discover what possibilities lie beyond the realm of your vocational expectations. GVA provides you with your own three-letter Summary Code that reflects your self-reported skills and interests and corresponds with a list of occupations matched to those characteristics.

Recruitment can be a tricky task. The pressure is on to find employees who will not only perform well but also stick around and get along well with their coworkers. There may be a glut of applicants in your industry, but not all may be suited to the job. Even those who have the right qualifications may still be a poor fit for the position or for your company—but often, this mismatch isn’t apparent during the hiring process. When faulty hires are made, the consequences can be dire—time and money down the drain, and existing employees frustrated and angry.

The key to a good hire is finding someone who will be satisfied in the position. One study found that workers who weren’t pleased in their jobs cost more mostly due to lost productivity. Although future job satisfaction can’t be precisely evaluated during the hiring process, research shows that the correspondence between personality characteristics and environmental characteristics in job settings may be the key to job satisfaction and that, in fact, a mismatch between personality and occupation “leads to dissatisfaction, unstable career paths, and lowered performance ” on the part of the employee.

GVA can help you choose employees who are likely to experience job satisfaction, employees who will give back to the company by being productive, happy, and loyal workers.

Making the right hire from the beginning is crucial. Increase your chances of choosing correctly by integrating the GVA into your hiring practice today!
