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.
