A Career Profile

On October the tenth I interviewed Mr. Jonathan Franklin Raymond. Mr. Raymond intrigued me because he graduated from a prestigious college, yet he has never utilized his degree. With Mr. Raymond’s permission, I will refer to him as Jon throughout the interview and paper. Jennifer: What were your hobbies as a child? Jon: I read a lot of comic books. I also had a chemistry set. In fact, I had my own little laboratory. …

…Jon’s personality type. Jon has to solve problems through thinking while working on ambiguous and abstracts tasks (investigative), he is performing in a job that provides him with tangible results (realistic), and he manages people and projects while having to give speeches and presentations (enterprising). The aforementioned factors show Jon’s work environment and personality to be congruent, which is said to be related to important outcomes, such as job satisfaction and job tenure.
