Holland Code: A Shortcut to Career Planning

Finding the right career can be exciting when you understand your strengths.

The Holland Code offers a clear, simple approach by categorising people into six personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

Your personal code is a combination of three of these, helping you discover careers that match your natural preferences.

Here’s what each letter means:

  • Realistic: You prefer hands-on tasks and practical problem-solving. Jobs like engineering or construction could suit your skills.
  • Investigative: You’re analytical and enjoy exploring ideas. Science, research, or tech might be where you excel.
  • Artistic: You thrive on creativity and self-expression. Careers in design, writing, or the arts are often a good fit.
  • Social: You love working with people, helping, teaching, or collaborating. Jobs in education, counselling, or HR are ideal.
  • Enterprising: You enjoy leading, making decisions, and taking initiative. Management, sales, or entrepreneurship might be your path.
  • Conventional: You’re organised and detail-oriented. Roles in administration, accounting, or logistics could suit you best.

For example, my code is ESC—Enterprising, Social, Conventional. This combination is a great fit for Human Resources, where leadership, working with people, and handling structured tasks are key.

So, what’s your Holland Code?

Interesting. My Holland Code is SEA - Social, Enterprising, Artistic. The most appropriate occupations are Actor, PR, Talent Directors, but all of them are not the first choice. I think, HR is all about it, including Actor and PR ??
