If you have not yet chosen a career to research, complete the Career One Stop Interest Assessment or the Naviance Career Interest Profiler to locate some careers that may interest you. Read the Naviance Quick Guide for directions on how to log into your account and locate information about careers, majors, and colleges. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will have the most up-to-date information about your career, including salary, job outlook, and work environment. Try using the Vocations and Careers database to locate an article about the career you chose. Read the NoodleTools Quick Guide to set up your account and how to import sources from our databases directly into your NoodleTools project.
