The Transition from College to the Real World
As someone who is preparing to graduate from college and presumably enter the workforce, you are about to undergo a major life transition. This is above all a time of personal change and discontinuity. You are about to leave the stable world of college, which is a familiar and often reassuring place where you know the ropes, have an established set of friends, and have mastered the student role. By contrast, you are about to enter a more complex, wide-open world, where there is a lot of unfamiliar territory--where you must take on new roles, build new relationships, and create a foundation for your adult life. 

Your individualized eCF CollegeToCareerFit Personal Style Inventory Report gives you a picture, a snapshot, if you will, of yourself at this time in your life. Use the information contained here to help you look at yourself, consider your choices, and decide where you want to go from here. While this self-knowledge can be very useful in work-related choices (for example in considering what job to take or what kind of work environment in which you would function best), it can also inform your decisions in such areas as choosing a spouse, significant other, or someone to share a house or apartment with; managing friendships and social relationships; creating an optimal home environment; joining organizations, and leisure pursuits.  

Almost everybody has some trouble making the transition from college environment to the work world. While it is a time of personal growth and discovery, it is also a time of difficult choices, stress, and even personal crisis. Success in navigating your transition into a career calls for self-understanding. Your individualized eCF CollegeToCareer Personal Style Inventory Report can help you in several ways:

• Sharpen your awareness of your personality strengths and weaknesses as you market your capabilities, enter new work roles, develop your skills, build new relationships, and establish yourself as an independent adult;

• Guide you toward a career that fits your personality by capitalizing on your personal strengths and steering around your weaknesses;

• Alert you to the unique challenges your personality brings to the transition, and to suggest ways to handle them by utilizing your personal strengths.
