Purpose can give job seekers much anxiety. Especially if they have other concerns like income, family, and community duties. An approach to help quickly relieve this is to think of your current role - is there anything you enjoy doing and if we were to remove everything you don't like, would your situation improve? Would you feel more fulfilled? Start with what you have already. Start small and simple. The purpose will gradually surface.

2 Research the quality

Not all career assessment tools are created equal. Some are more reliable, valid, and accurate than others. Some are based on scientific research and evidence, while others are based on opinions and assumptions. Some are designed by professionals and experts, while others are created by amateurs and enthusiasts. To ensure that you choose a high-quality career assessment tool, you need to do some research on its background, credentials, and reputation. Look for tools that are developed by reputable organizations, endorsed by career development associations, and reviewed by independent sources.

3 Compare the features

Once you have a shortlist of potential career assessment tools, you need to compare their features and see how they fit your preferences and expectations. When assessing the tools, consider the length and format of the tool; how long does it take to complete, is it online or offline, is it interactive or static? Additionally, look at the cost and accessibility of the tool; how much does it cost to use, is it free or paid, is it available to everyone or only members or clients? Furthermore, examine the feedback and support of the tool; how do you receive the results, are they easy to understand and interpret, do you get any guidance or recommendations? Lastly, assess the relevance and applicability of the tool; how does the tool relate to your current situation and goals, does it offer any insights or suggestions that you can use in your career planning or development?

Assessments can help people achieve their career goals and can offer valuable insights and resources when aligning careers with passions, strengths, and values. The Strong Interest Survey is a powerful tool for uncovering one's interests, allowing individuals to identify potential career paths that align with their passions and preferences. Meanwhile, the Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of one's natural strengths, enabling people to leverage these talents in their professional lives. Furthermore, common values exercises are essential for determining what matters most to people in the workplace. Understanding one's values can guide career choices, ensuring fit and job satisfaction.

This will give you a sense of how the tool works, what kind of questions it asks, and what kind of results it provides. You can also check if the tool is user-friendly, engaging, and informative. By trying out the tool, you can evaluate its suitability and effectiveness for your needs.

Choosing the best career assessment tool for your goals is not a one-size-fits-all process. You need to consider your purpose, quality, features, and experience of the tool. By following these steps and tips, you can find the tool that will help you uncover your potential, explore your options, and achieve your career aspirations.
