Self Assessment

Self-exploration of careers refers to the process of examining and understanding oneself in order to make informed decisions about career choices. It involves reflecting on personal interests, values, skills, and goals to identify potential career paths that align with one's strengths and aspirations. This self-reflection often includes assessing one's personality traits, values, and work preferences to gain insight into the types of careers that may be a good fit. Self-exploration of careers is an important step in career planning and can help individuals make satisfying and fulfilling career choices.

When doing a career self-assessment, you may ask yourself the following questions:

• What are my interests and passions?
• What are my strengths and skills?
• What are my values and what is important to me in a career?
• What are my short-term and long-term career goals?
• What are my personal and professional priorities?
• What are the potential career paths that align with my interests and skills?
• What are the education, training, or qualifications needed for those career paths?
• What are potential challenges or obstacles I may face in pursuing those career paths?
• What are the opportunities for growth and advancement in my chosen career paths?

These questions can help guide your self-assessment and provide insights into your career preferences and aspirations. Once you answer these questions, try to think of some jobs you might like. If you have trouble identifying some of these things, don't worry; Career Services offers consulting to assist you in finding the right career path.
