When you were a kid, you had dreams. Maybe you wanted to be an astronaut, or a lion tamer, or an inventor of something awesome. But as you get older your interests and passions changed, and you discovered other things you like to do, but you have no clue how those interests or passions could actually translate into a real career.
On top of that there's a choir of outside voices that all want to tell you who you are and what you should be. And those voices are hard to ignore. Especially if you really don't know yourself. And the tragic thing is, if you don't know yourself, or what the best career options there are for you, the chances of you ending up here are pretty high.
What if there was a way you could know yourself and discover jobs people like you tend to thrive in? The SuperStrong is here to help.
The SuperStrong is a career assessment engine based on the world's leading career assessment tool the Strong Interest Inventory.
The SuperStrong helps you discover who you are and explore college majors and career paths that are the best fit for you. And this knowledge is powerful, because if you know what you like, and what you are like, and where the people most like you thrive, then you can be free to pick a major and career that you are going to love.
Think about it, you're going to spend hours, and hours, and hours of your life working, so why not enjoy it?
How can the career interest assessment help you?
Knowing what you like doing and how you like doing it can help you to think strategically about the career choices you make. It can also help to identify work that will genuinely interest and motivate you. This tool links your interests to jobs, salaries, skills and the education you’ll need to meet your goals. It’s important to note that it:
- does not measure abilities, values, goals, family concerns and lifestyle needs. In addition to your interests, these factors are also important when making career decisions.
- does not recommend one specific course, major or career that you should follow.
