Free and Fun Career Strengths Assessment

I just completed a fun, free and easy career interests assessment at www.assessment.com. They provide you with an amazing amount of information. The teaser is that you'll want to purchase more information from them. A cool thing about this assessment is that it words your characteristics in a way that could easily be used in a cover letter or resume. I was affirmed by all my results that my job is the best fit there could be for me. I love what I do.

Here's one of the excerpts that stood out for me from my assessment:
'"Mentor: a trusted counselor or guide." Teresa is interested in and consciously prefers to consider the existence, meaning, purpose, potential, and destiny of mankind, people, persons, and self; with self-felt, self-accepted responsibility to influence and/or cause good, growth, and gain in the lives of all concerned. Teresa has intuition and philosophical curiosity that causes an awareness of personality, intentions, emotions, ethics, values, and moods of other persons, and of self. By itself, this is not benevolence. If Teresa is highly motivated for benevolent activities, this trait is compulsively central to personal and vocational activities. If there is a lack of personal motivation, then the preference for consideration tends to be more philosophical or academic in nature, but still service oriented.'

I like how it sums up information about you almost as someone providing a referral for you. If you're not already in your "dream job" maybe this will give you a glimpse into what that would look like. Try it out and have fun!
