Step 1: The 4 Checklist Assessments
Step 1: The 4 Checklist Assessments
To help determine what type of career is a good fit for you, it can help to assess who you are and what skills you currently have.
Then you check the careers you are interested in to see which ones best match who you are and what you want to do.
This activity is the first step. It helps you assess yourself and your skills.
There are 4 assessments:
My interests
Personality Trait List
My Values (things that are important to you)
Skills Assessment
Assessments won't give you a definite answer about what job is best for you.
They can give you options to explore, which narrow down your list to better match your interests, skills, and traits.
Whether looking for your first job or changing jobs, knowing what you like to do makes job searching easier and more effective.
