2.   Revisit:  I did not get much for this assignment.  Please finish today!  Sign into CIS and go to the saved assessments.  Open up the "Interest Profiler" and restore it.   Go to the top ranked one and click on it.  It will show you the jobs that are within that profile.  Please select between the jobs presented.  If your next ranked "Interest Profile" is close in percentile, you can search that one as well if there are no jobs within the parameters you might be interested in.  Please write one to three paragraphs.

Choose three jobs that you feel would fit you and copy them below the Interest Profile snapshot.  Explain in two paragraphs why this "Interest" fits you and why you feel these jobs are within your realm.


3.  Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.  To do this, we will be looking at "Reality Check" which is under the "Occupations" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Your name_Reality_Check".  We will explore this later  as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!  If you have time today, does the amount that the three jobs you explored briefly in the Interest Profiler support your goal for Reality Check?
