Self-Assessment
Understanding yourself is essential in choosing your career. Career Services offers a variety of career self-assessment tools that can help you transform what you know about yourself into educational and occupational goals.
Each assessment takes a different kind of snapshot of you. Multiple snapshots will give you valuable perspective. Some assessments include very useful databases designed to help you quickly find information about majors and occupations. Others require professional interpretations. Read below for details or call 797-7777 for more information or to schedule an appointment to talk with a career counselor. You do not need to take an assessment to meet with a career counselor, however, these assessments are excellent springboards for career planning discussions.
