graduation and all set to enter the world of work in near future.

Whatever the case may be, you will need the guidance of experts who will coach you to enter the job world with

● What job you will take once you graduate?


● Would you like to go for future studies?
● Is study abroad a good option for me?
● How can I improve chances of getting a good job? What are the skills required for the same?
● Are there some short term courses which will enhance my job skills?

This confidential report uses your responses to the personality questionnaire to identify your unique personality
characteristics, and describe the behaviours you are likely to exhibit in a range of different settings. In addition to this the
report uses your responses to the aptitude questionnaire, and describes what are your strengths and shortfalls if any. This
information is then used to highlight career areas that may be best suited for you, and which you might wish to explore
further when considering higher study options and your future career path.

The purpose of this Career Success Report is to help you broaden your understanding of self and to plan well for your
future. Although successful people possess personal strengths inherent to these behavioural patterns, no lifestyle can be
classified as 'the best way of doing things'. Various styles may aid in one's efforts to be successful, happy, and productive.

A helpful understanding of your reported personal strengths should also take into account other significant information
about self, such as your current education and skills, work and leisure experiences. So, if you wants to benefit fully from

Personality Test

What is personality?

Carl Jung believed that an individual's personality was made up of his or her preferences, or the way he or she chooses to do
certain things. The assessment provides a useful method for understanding people through the eight personality preferences
that everyone uses at different times. These eight preferences are organized into four dichotomies, each made up of a pair of
opposite preferences. When you take the assessment, the four preferences you identify as being most like you are combined
into what is called a type. We have understood and utilized world wide accepted theories and adapted its interpretations to
suit Indian psychology and mentality.

Your reported type is ESTP Extroversion, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving.

What does ESTP mean?

Dear Sanya Lalani,

You are smart, energetic and very perceptive, who truly enjoy living on the edge.

It is important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at
various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an
understanding of your traits, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a
career which you will find rewarding.

E, S, T and P: What Each Letter of Your Personality Type Code Means

● E: Extroversion (which is sometimes spelled extraversion), means you are energized by external experiences and
people. You like interacting with others.
● S: You use your five senses to help you understand information that comes your way. You are inclined to look at
what actually exists rather than what could be. This makes you a very practical person who is likely to stay
grounded in the here and now.
● T: Your preference for thinking means you use logic, not emotion, when making decisions. You analyze situations
objectively and tend to be precise.
● P: As someone who is perceiving, you take things as they come. You are flexible and spontaneous, which gives you
the ability to easily adapt to changes.

a sense of commitment to something worthwhile, and the use of their high energy toward a constructive end
● ESTPs can benefit from learning to appreciate structure and follow-through and developing a set of standards to
avoid pursuing experiences simply for the sake of excitement

Jobs in the area of Accounting, Banking, Insurance, Sales, Event Management and Travel and Tourism are good
match for you.

Higher Studies
If you are keen on pursuing a master degree course, as per your ability report which is at fair level, you will
have to work very hard.
We strongly advice that you take the following points in to consideration before going for higher studies:

This will help you in getting better understanding of the application part of what you have learned and boost

Other Points To Consider

● If you are planning to study abroad and wish to return back India after education, you need to bore one point
in mind that there will not be much salary hike over here. So, chances are that you will have to stay there are
and find work.

The laws for getting work are different for different countries. Kindly check the same for the respective country
where you wish to take the education. In addition to this, the cost of studying aboard is very high.

MBA

● As per your abilities report, we suggest that after acquiring 2 to 3 years of experience you can think about
PGDM with a specialisation as per your liking at that time. The specializations can be in Sales and Marketing,
Supply Chain Management.
● If you are planning to study abroad, you need to check whether the degree is globally accepted or not.
● So also you must take in to consideration that the cost is very high.

Civil Services

● Based on your abilities report, you need to work very hard on your Verbal, Reasoning, Numerical and
Cognitive Ability.
● It is better that instead of UPSC you think about State Public Service Commission's examination.
● These examinations need intense preparation because there is tough competition and hardly two percent of
the appearing students are selected in good cadre.

Bank Clerk Exams


Your abilities are somewhat good for appearing such kind of examinations. If you wish to enter into Banking
you can very well try for such examinations after due preparations.
However, you need to work on your Verbal, Reasoning and Cognitive Ability.

think about applying with MNC's.

Note: Do not be too choosy about the job in terms of salary package. The initial years are meant to acquire
practical experience. Your target should be to get the job in what so ever filed as early as possible.
