Career assessments are tools designed to help individuals understand how a variety of personal attributes (i.e., interests, values, preferences, motivations, aptitudes and skills), impact their potential success and satisfaction with different career options and work environments. Self-awareness, or knowing oneself, is a key ingredient when pursuing a career fit. The more you know yourself, the easier it will be to articulate your strengths and abilities to potential employers. Knowing yourself will also make it easier to look for the qualities and characteristics you believe will fit you well in the job you take. Career assessments are designed to help you know yourself better.
