Self Assessment

To find a career that fits you, you will need to understand yourself.  Self-assessment is more than knowing your personality type, skills and interests; it includes understanding your values, needs for work-life balance, resources and barriers.

Assess Your Interests, Skills, Values, Personality and Strengths

• Take the Career Cruising Quiz – assess your work interests and skills
• Visit Career Explorers on Alberta Employment and Immigration website for a comprehensive list of self-assessment tools  
• Discover your personality type (personalitytype.com or typelogic.com)
• Revisit your past successes and reveal your strengths, interests, values and skills through the PRIDE Experience exercise. 

Rate Your Employability Skills

• Take the Essential Skills Tests
• Essential Skills (reading text, document use, numeracy) with TOWES  
• Essential Skills (oral communication, working with others, thinking skills, continuous learning)
