How to discover a new career?

Career Personality Test from My Career Quizzes! Fun Quizzes | MySpace Quizzes
Keeping with the spirit of career changes, I thought I’d share with you a few career testing sites I came across. On My Career Quizzes, you can learn about your career profile, test if you are ready to leave your current job and a host of other career related quizzes to help you discover your best career options.
To test out the site, I tested my career profile and discovered that I am “The Crisis Manager”. According to the site, The Crisis Manager, “likes creative freedom and is action-minded.” While it does give me more details and describes me quite well, it neglected to find any careers that actually support the crisis manger. If you are just interested in classifying your work personality, this is a good start. But if you are an avid job searcher and really looking to change careers, then this site is not the one for you.
If you are willing to put in the twenty-minutes it takes to discover your best career intentions, visit Free Career Test which will take you through 100 questions, but then give you a definitive answer as to the kind of careers that best suit you according to your interests. The results of your test is a 16 page analysis, detailing your best working conditions, your top five career interests and your lowest five. Shockingly, I ranked highest in clerical work. While it’s true, I do derive pleasure from performing administrative tasks, I cannot tolerate the ho-drum of routine work and staying within the same environment for long periods of time.
Therefore, I could never work within the traditional clerical environment, even though the test says it would be a perfect fit. If you find your results are similar to mine, you can also take their job satisfaction test and discover which traits you like the most about your current job and which traits you’d need for optimal job satisfaction. Utilizing both tests, you’ll have a great start on knowing exactly how to map out your career goals.
As always, good luck with your job search.
Sincerely,
