How will FOCUS 2 help me make decisions?
Understanding yourself is one of the most important aspects of figuring out what you want to do with your life. FOCUS 2 is broken down into four sections that help you understand yourself and how your interests, abilities, values and personality correspond to specific careers:

  • CAREER READINESS: Answer questions to get started thinking about your career.
  • SELF ASSESSMENT: Take assessments that match your answers to UAlbany majors and careers. Gain the most out of the system by taking all five self-assessments.
  • EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES: Search and save occupations associated with majors, or compare two careers side by side,
  • CREATE AN ACTION PLAN: Focus ideas and decide on steps to achieve your goals.

How long does FOCUS 2 take?
During first use, students typically spend between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Log in any time afterward to research over 1200 careers that FOCUS 2 profiles. It will always save your work.

Okay, I took FOCUS 2. Now what?
Once you have completed FOCUS 2, make an appointment with a career counselor to review your results, answer any questions you may have, and discuss your career plan.
