Tips & Warnings

• Compare the job outlook for each career option. A career assessment test typically delivers several options. Check the job outlook and consider industries that are expected to grow faster then the national average.
• Always read the fine print. Although many companies offer a career assessment test, it’s important to read the fine print when signing up to ensure your information won’t be sold.

on 4/1/2009 I need to take one of these career assessment tests and see what I would be good at. I'm getting a bit burned out in my current job and would like to start a new career.
