It's important to note that some of these tools require - or at least strongly encourage - a trained professional to interpret. Otherwise, you have data you don't know the meaning of - or may misconstrue. the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) is one such example.

I agree with Lucy Sattler’s comment. Consistent with theories of career development based on the social constructionist or constructivist world views, clients need to reflect on the personal meaning of career assessment results. McMahon & Watson’s (2012) Integrative Structured interview invites clients to tell stories about their results from tools such as interest inventories, values inventories.

It would be a great idea to give examples outside the US like Proyecto Orion in Spain where you cant take online quizzes too!

ONET, OOH and CareerOneStop are my main “go-to” tools to use with young adults. I like the ease of the tabs to house information inside OOH making it easier to read and the videos in CareerOneStop are helpful. ONET is the best to use first to access the Interest Profiler assessment before exploring on any of these sites.

LinkedIn is a powerful networking tool - and not just to stay connected to your 1st degree connections. It's also incredibly valuable to your career development to make new connections through your 2nd degree network.

I'm really liking the power of AI tools to help me research and source ideas. ChatGPT is a great tool to update your resume and even give you ideas around best practices for your industry. You can also use it to research different companies you may have interest in working in. Use AI as a personal assistant in helping you find the best opportunities for you in the industry of your choice.

All of these tools are awesome, but if you want to move forward also leave space for reflection. Give yourself time to process your progress and think about what is of value to your career, which should help you clarify what you need to do next.

I like the practical examples A suggestion is to create a summary of a typical career planning process to give it structure. Mention that the process will look different between career stages Not everyone knows these theories so consider explaining the career theory and then use the practical examples if you want to use them
