CAREERS QUIZZES TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND “YOU”…

…AND THE JOBS YOU MAY LIKE

We have investigated different careers programs used in the UK.

Please understand that there isn’t any careers software which will read your mind and say this is the correct career for you.

Careers software cannot take into account ‘talents’. So if you are an excellent dancer, a successful sports person, musician etc and have the ability to become a professional in your field careers software may not be much help. This is the time to ask for an interview with the careers adviser.

There are three new career quizzes now available. These have been funded by the Department of Education. As these are new apps, I cannot say how useful they are. I would welcome feedback if you use them.

New government website – Discover Uni – launched by a partnership of UK-wide higher education funders and regulators, including the Office for Students – is designed to be an impartial, authoritative source of data, advice and guidance to help prospective students of all ages and at all stages of the decision making journey take their next steps.

An innovative new game that helps students make better, more informed choices about their future!

There are other career quizzes to help you decide what to choose. Some of these are quite short but still can help.
