Career is an important aspect for every individual. This study aims to identify the personality, interests, and jobs that are suitable for the students. Additionally, it seeks to explore students' knowledge about careers and assess their awareness of their preferred career paths. Personality and interests are crucial factors in developing one's career awareness, and knowledge about different careers plays a significant role in achieving this awareness. This mixed-methods study incorporates interviews and utilizes the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument to provide insights into participants' personalities and their compatibility with preferred careers. Six respondents from Sekolah Rendah Agama Seri Cheeding, Banting, Selangor participated in this study. The findings revealed several themes, including career interests, personality in career selection, parental support, career knowledge, and preparation for achieving a career. In conclusion, fostering career awareness from an early age is essential to ensure a brighter future.
