Self-assessment is a way to learn more about yourself: what you like, what you don't like, and how you tend to react to certain situations. Learning about yourself is the first step in finding a good career fit.

Assessments are tools to help you explore your skills, interests, values, or other traits. These traits are then matched to a broad list of careers.

Many assessments are available, and none are the same, so it's important to consider the following before using one:

• What does it measure?
• Who developed it? Are they a trusted source? Has it been reviewed by a trusted source?
• What kind of results can you expect? How can they be used?
• Will you have to pay a fee to use it or get your results?
