Explore Your Interests / Self Assessments

This virtual online community is dedicated to helping individuals explore their interests and gain insights into potential career paths through self-assessments and guided activities. Self-assessment is a critical first step for anyone seeking career direction. Self-assessment is a phrase that simply means taking the time to look inward and gain valuable insight about who you are, what preferences you have, what values are top priorities for you, and what skills, interests, and aspirations you have.  Knowing all about yourself is the foundation of a well-informed career (or life) decision.

During your Mercer experience, take time to pursue the following meaningful assessments/exercises:

  • Assess your interests, personality, values, and skills
  • Review links between your results, academic majors, and careers
  • Explore and analyze occupational paths
  • Create an individual career success plan

Career and personality assessments are not designed to tell you what you “should be” or what you “should do.”  They are simply tools to help you clarify your thinking and identify options. Below you will find tools that help identify strengths, passions, and values, enabling you to make more informed decisions about your professional future. Whether you’re uncertain about your next step or seeking clarity in your career journey, this community provides the resources and support needed to discover your ideal path.
