Quick comprehension check
“Describe one of your interests and one of your skills. Then, suggest a career path that could potentially utilize both your interest and your skill. Explain your reasoning. Think about a career that interests you. What skills do you think you would need to be successful in that career? Of those skills, which do you already possess, and which would you need to develop? Imagine you enjoy helping people and are good at organizing. Describe a specific job that combines these two aspects, and explain how your interest and skill would be used in that role.”
