Take a Career Choice Quiz...

An Essential Career Assesment* Tool for Effective Career Change!

You're wondering if a career choice quiz really offers any value in career assesment*, aren't you?

(*By the way, YES, I do know I've spelled "assessment" wrong twice already. :-) You see, it's on purpose... I'm trying to help the thousands of people who don't spell as well as you and me find this page.)

The answer is a qualified "yes." When you're thinking about making a career change, a quiz of this type can help you gain valuable insights into some possible options for you to consider.

But don't put too much stock in such things. It's crucial to do the research needed to truly evaluate your various career options.

It's true that it's hard to know if a job will be a good match for you until you actually do it. But try to learn as much as you can about it ahead of time.

You can start with a career choice quiz. There's a bunch offered at Business.com that you might find helpful with your career assesment and evaluation. It's at least a place to start before making any kind of career change.

Here are a few more suggestions for gathering intelligence about the careers you're interested in:

• Talk to people already doing the job. You might even see if you can shadow someone for a day or two to see firsthand what the job is all about. Ask them what they like most — and least — about their job.

• Next, gather the facts about the job/career. Find out what you can at the library or on the Internet about qualifications needed, salary range, required skills, working conditions, etc.

• Read the professional journals for the career. You may find polls about job satisfaction or articles that can be illuminating about the reality of the job.
