Although I am only a college sophomore, Career and Life Planning will impact my life forever in many ways. Career and Life Planning had to be the best class I have taken since the beginning of college. When my advisor first showed me this class I did not think it would be of any use to me, but I talked to my friends who are older then me and they convinced me to take this class over any other. At first I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but this class pointed me in the direction of Marketing. My sister who is a lot older then me majored and went into the direction of Communications. I thought that I would follow my sisters foot steps and become interested in Communications but Career and Life Planning made me realize I was wrong.

Doing this assessment in Career and Life Planning showed me why Marketing is really an amazing fit for myself. This assessment mainly showed me what to study, showed my strengths and weaknesses, and showed me what steps to take in order to become successful. My personal responses on the MBTI assessment showed that my report type is ESTJ. ESTJ is Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. All these four traits helped me realize why I belong in a Marketing occupation. Getting ESTJ as my assessment report makes me feel much more comfortable in the environment that I plan on working in the future. “Career development almost always involves coping with new demands that do not come naturally to you and often requires working and communicating with people with different preferences” (A.L. Hammer, MBTI Career Report, personal communication, October 5, 2016). My ESTJ report comes with many personal strengths as showed in the report. ESTJ assessment reports involve making tough decisions when needed, always being ready to take charge, and being very organized. All throughout my life I have been very good at all of the strengths from ESTJ. In the ranking of Job Families for ESTJ, “Business”, which involves marketing is one of the top choices. Not only the class itself made me realize why I am so interested in Marketing, but the MBTI report …show more content…
Even though I have been interviewed for a serious internship before, If I took this class last semester my internship interview last summer would have been significantly better. Sitting down with someone 1 on 1 in front of a whole class can be very stressful for students. But, since I got to do it with one of my close friends I was very relaxed. My partner asked me questions related to the Pharmaceutical Sales internship I am going for this summer. It was really great to not only have feedback from my partner, but to also have feedback from my professor. My professor made me feel much more confident for future interviews that I will go too. He told me he loved my descriptive answers to all of my partner’s questions. I knew how to correctly respond not only because my partner and I met up before to practice, but because I have experience with Marketing interviews. Career and Life Planning’s Mock Interview benefited me in so many ways. Everyone either gets nervous or gets anxiety when doing an interview, but practicing with a mock interview can boost your confidence, prepare you for real life questions, and can provide you with tremendously helpful feedback without feeling
