What is a career assessment?

What do you want to be when you grow up? Are you feeling unsatisfied with your current position? Careers aren’t set in stone, and it’s never too late to pursue a new one. However, as with most big transitions, this change can feel overwhelming and downright confusing. Have you ever pictured yourself in a different role? How do you know what you want to become? What if you leave your job and move into a position that you like even less?

Whether you are trying to figure out which major to pursue in university or want to change your professional track, a career assessment will help you ease these worries and more easily make the transition. These assessments analyze respondents’ skills, interests and strengths and provides a list of careers most closely aligned with that information. Use these assessments to learn more about yourself in the present, so you can create the future you deserve.
