Career Assessments and Testing
SKILLS ASSESSMENT
Accurately identifying skills, including "hidden", and transferable skills is crucial to searching for compatible jobs or a new career. Effectively articulating them is important to presenting a great impression in resumes and job interviews. We are experts in skills identification and presentation.
Basic Skills Assessment - $125
Uses professionally developed checklist questionnaires to assess general "soft" skills associated with different careers and education curricula. Includes half hour meeting with career consultant to discuss results. Current employers are often very interested in hiring candidates with the soft skills needed to function effectively in a variety of roles.
Hidden Skills Assessment: Self assisted - $150, including workbook
In-depth assessment of all general "soft" and specific "hard" skills that are unique to your background. This brings into focus all your skills, including those you do not readily realize you have, and articulates them in writing. The final inventory is very useful in deciding on which jobs to apply for, modifying the skills listed on your resume to meet general and specific job requirements, and for preparing before job interviews.
Transferable Skills Match - $100-$250

It can speed up the job search process and open your eyes to new career possibilities that require little or no added preparation.
