This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking a jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and two backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of one paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.  Remember, the amount of pay is "median" and not top or low.  See Attorneys' fees article for Portland attorney fees.

We will watch a short article on the integration of personality tests and job applications here.
I want you to have a reason for you to have looked at these tests as a whole to refine a job search.
