How does it work?
Take the short test (it’s about 5 minutes long). The test will ask you around 20 questions, which will give us the information we need about you and your interests and ambitions.
We’ll then read through your answers, and create a personalised Report, just for you.
If you like, you can choose to receive more support from us, with ongoing career-specific resources and advice.
