Post-reading
Discuss your strengths in groups and give each other career advice.
Discussion
Person A: Hey everyone, I think one of my strengths is that I’m really good at communicating with others. I can easily make new friends and I’m also good at presenting my ideas clearly. I’m considering a career in sales. What do you guys think
Person B: That’s a great strength! In sales, communication is key. You could also look into a career in public relations. Your ability to communicate well would help you build good relationships with clients and the public.
Person C: I agree. And with your friendly personality, you’d be great at customer-facing roles too. Maybe even event planning, where you’d need to interact with different vendors and guests.
Person B: As for me, I’m really detail-oriented. I love checking and double-checking things to make sure everything is perfect. I’m thinking about a career in accounting.
For example
Person A: That’s a smart choice. In accounting, being detail-oriented is crucial to avoid mistakes with numbers. But you could also consider a career in quality control in manufacturing. They need people to carefully inspect products.
Person C: Yeah, or in proofreading. Your attention to detail would help you catch errors in written materials.
Person C: Well, I’m quite creative. I love drawing and coming up with new ideas. I’m interested in graphic design.
Person A: That’s awesome. Besides graphic design, you could look into advertising. Your creativity could be used to come up with unique ad campaigns.
Person B: And also game design. With your creativity, you could help design interesting characters and storylines for video games.
