Take a Career Assessment Now!

Making a career decision can be an exciting, challenging, and even sometimes, a scary or frustrating experience. You may be saying to yourself:

  1. "I don't know which careers I should consider."
  2. OR
  3. "I am interested in many fields. I need help identifying specific jobs."
  4. OR
  5. "I am not really interested in anything. I don't know where to start."

Taking a career assessment will get you started on your career decision-making process. Understanding who you are (personality) and what you enjoy doing (interests) are key to unlocking the doors of your future major and career! A career assessment provides you with a specific list of careers in which you may find satisfaction and success.

Online Career Assessment Options

Strong Interest Inventory-Identify your interests and where you might like to work. Identify how your interests compare to over 240 occupations as well as understand your style of working and learning.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator -Discover your personality and how you communicate, learn, and work. Identify specific careers that will motivate and satisfy you.
