Vocational Testing Offer-ed by Career Development Center
~. By Qi Ymg (Jessica) Zhou Does the snarling question, "What do you want to do when you gradu ate?" send an eerie shiver down your spine? If it just warped you merci lessly, not to mention cluelessly down memory lane, then maybe it's time to run up to the Career -nevefopment Center and arrange to take the Self-directed Search Vocational Assessment Test. From October through December, the Career Development Center is offering vocational testing seminars. This program, supervised under the direction of Jim Perrone, requires less than two hours of your time- not a bad investment considering that you may be enlightened with inspirations. Although it is the first time Baruch College is offering the standardized test, it has been prima rily applied to help career-confound ed college freshmen and sophomores at other colleges since the 1970's. Despite the obvious benefits ofthis evaluation, the purpose of the test can be achieved only ifthe inquiries are answered objectively The direc tion on the self-estimate page states: "Give the most accurate estimate of how you see yourself." Perrone reit erates this essential element of self analysis: "They're interest tests. You answer them honestly and you get a better idea of where your interest rests and you can use that informa tion to link with a possible career," -This ¢tical requirement, however? is problematic, for" it is often difficult to critique ourselves objectively.
