Traditionally, as people leave high school they tend to gravitate toward jobs held by family, friends or neighbors who tell them about job openings or introduce them to hiring managers.  Many of those who don’t go directly into the job market go on to college with only a minuscule knowledge of the field that they have chosen as their major, if they have selected a major at all.  Then there are others who, for various reasons, are unable to go to college and have had little contact with people in position to either hire them or inform them of job openings.  For years this is the way that people in this country have prepared for life after high school, with the only change being the recent one of many students being required to take a personality test to see what career fields might be best for them. 

We at CareerVid believe that our way of preparing you for your career vastly improves upon all previous traditions and is infinitely more equitable.  CareerVid gives you the inside scoop on what these career fields are truly about and provides you with actual insight into them before you begin your training.  Regardless of whether you are a person soon to graduate from high school or are someone thinking of changing your career, we believes that CareerVid is the best place to help you determine your ultimate career direction. 

CareerVid provide site visitors with motivation, focus, and the confidence to believe that they too will soon have a career in one of highlighted fields.  In this effort we have assembled scores of free online 5 to 7 minute videos of regular people employed as    mid-to-high income professionals, non-professionals, and entrepreneurs talking directly to site visitors about the behind the scene realities of their jobs, and the triumphs and pitfalls that they experienced as they prepared for the careers they now enjoy.  Some of the things that the video mentors discuss are their job duties, the requirements for entry, the difficulties they faced in entering their career fields, the best and worst aspect of performing their jobs, the prospect of future advancement, and more.
