One good website is www.planningyourdreams.org
You can sign up for free and take interest, skills, and values assessments. This then shows you info on various careers in which you might be interested. There is also a resume builder than can help because you should have a resume, especially before you ask anyone to write a letter of recommendation for you. I worked on a resume and then copied it and pasted it to a word document where I could make other changes. There is also a link at the bottom that will take you to a page that has ALL the Tennessee colleges and universities and tech schools. There is also a $cholarship search.
