A Guide to
Building Self-Reliance
Before you dive in, remember that your results might not be completely accurate or reflect the career path you choose. Your personality could change in the future! So, it is really important to learn how to do your own research. You might not find a position on this website that checks all your boxes, but interests you enough that you could see yourself working in that field. Build self-reliance and discover jobs on your own through reaching out to people on Linkedin, doing Google searches, taking internships, scrolling through Glassdoor.com, and educating yourself on careers in the workforce that reflect your interests, passions, and character. Maybe make a list of requirements that you would like a future position to meet. Are you social? An active team member? Organized? Messy? Want a busy personal life? Want to work from home? And lastly, don't be afraid of asking questions or rejection––failure is part of success.

You work best when you are at the service of others. Seeing pleasant responses from clients, students, or colleagues makes you feel great, so use that to your advantage. Be sure to consider your gift of practicality as well.

Sometimes this judgement comes from a place of a desire to obtain a high social status, as you might not like to admit it, but you are very concerned with the public opinion of you. Lastly, you sometimes get very used to dealing with facts and logical solutions that you lack the ability to express your emotions well, coming off as insensitive.
