4. A list of career titles will appear. These are career research leads -- the names of careers that have interests and skills like the interests and skills you told Career Finder about. You can click on a name in the list to see graphs comparing your interests and skills to that career. If you want to know a lot more about that career, there's a link below the graphs. It will take you to the right Choices Explorer article.
   

   Career Finder will balance your interests and skills (the Balance Both option). You can also tell Career Finder to look for careers that match your interests without considering your skills. Or, you can ask it to look for careers that match your skills without considering your interests.
   

5. Write down the first three career research leads here:

6. Now, use the Interest and Skills fine-tuner (near the top of the Career Finder) and change Balance Both to Favor Interests. Career Finder will quickly create a new list of career research leads for you. Write down the first three career titles from this updated list.
