It's essential to know what career is likely to be a good match for you -- and why it's a good match. By uncovering your business-related interests, work reward values, and abilities, you will be able to understand why one path may be better for you than another. This will help you to navigate your career, and it can help you very directly with your job search. You can use these results to explain to interviewer exactly why why you think you'll be a good match for the job you want. The four sections below will help you to understand your results in more detail.

After assessing your interests, values and abilities, CareerLeader maps those elements against different careers to see how well you're likely to fit with each. Use the "your match with all careers" link below to see how you match up with all of the careers the program considers. Each career profile details the interests you're likely to be able to express in it, the rewards you're likely to get if you're successful, and the abilities you need to do well. A report ("Your Match") will let you see exactly how you matched up with the most critical variables for that career.
