Choices CD Edition: Frequently Asked Questions

Do users have to create a Choices® session file or should they use the Jump In feature?
Have users create session files if they wish to save their work in Choices. Users can use the Jump In at first, and if they decide to save, they should make sure to select to save their work before exiting Choices.

How do I find careers in Choices?
From the Choices Start screen, click on Occupations (with Post-Secondary Schools or with Graduate Schools). You will now be viewing the Occupations listing. Users can scroll the list of occupations, use the Find button or use the Search button to input specific search criteria.

How do I see careers that match my interests or skills?
Once the interest or skills assessments are completed, go to the Occupations database and click on the Search button (lower left corner). A list of search criteria will be displayed. Select Interests (if the Interest Profiler was completed), then select Use/Change.

What is a Focus List?
Users can add occupations, programs and even post-secondary/graduate schools to their Focus List. This list helps an individual to identify which career pathway they should be taking during their high school years and beyond. The Focus List is used in the Planning Tools section of Choices.

How can I see what information my users are saving to their Choices session files?
From the Choices Start Screen, click on the Professional Tools link. Scroll to the bottom of the Professional Tools page and click on Go to OnTrack. You will be prompted for the Choices System Manager password. If you cannot locate the System Manager password, please contact Bridges Customer Support at 1-800-281-1168, or

What is the System Manager used for?
In addition to having the OnTrack reporting tools, the System Manager allows you to customize the Choices program. Edit the four-year course plans, add local resources information, post news bulletins on the opening and closing bulletin screens and so much more.
