Job Test Prep

Important: While online tests and quizzes can go some way towards helping us understand ourselves better, they cannot replace professional, one-to-one careers guidance. This is because career development is more complex than simply taking assessments. A suitably qualified and experienced career coach has been trained to help you identify and understand your skills, strengths and aptitudes and how these fit in the current and future world of work. They are also trained in guiding you to make decisions and take action based on your own unique circumstances.

Career development professionals carry out their work based on a foundation of career development theory utilising a range of specialist career counselling and coaching skills. If you are interested in working with a qualified, experienced and registered career development professional please get in touch to learn more about our career counselling and coaching services.
