Career Assessment

A Career Assessment is a process that individuals can go through to gain insights into their likes and dislikes in their careers.  Career assessments are normally a formal process the individual engages in and is often conducted by a service provider or through a questionnaire.

Some career assessments aim to match the individual's knowledge, style of thinking and basic needs to an ideal job.  For example, they may determine what factors the individual feels are important while at work.  Other assessment tools might create an inventory of the individual's career interests.

The purpose of a career assessment is to help the individual make better decisions about the types of jobs they should seek in the future.  When done correctly, the career assessment should help the individual take a career path that maximizes their chances for success and place them in job positions that they will enjoy.
