***One of the most important parts of a job search is knowing what type of job you want to have***. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who have absolutely no idea what they want to do or go into. Here are some steps to [career assessment](https://exclusive-executive-resumes.com/about-2/job-search-resources/)
 that will help you decide what you want and start you on the path to success.

1. **Self Assessment:**This step is looking inward and making an inventory of your skills, desires, and interests. This will help you understand what you would enjoy as a career. Some people may be able to decide right then and there what type of job they want to search for, but for most people they need some more help.
2. **Career Testing:** There are many test and programs that can give you an idea of what career would be best suited to your interests and skills. You can find these [assessments](https://www.keirsey.com/) /tests online or sometimes at career centers. This is not likely to give you one exact [career path](https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2012/12/14/the-truth-about-good-listening-skills/) , but it will give you some ideas to move you forward.
3. **Career Counseling:** Now once you have finished testing and have some ideas, then you can get some help from a professional that can lead you to your decision of what career path to take. Career counselors are trained to help uncertain job searchers find a path that will lead to a fulfilling and successful career.

***Career assessment is a great way to help you discover the best career path and make your job search more focused and therefore more successful.***While it is not necessarily helpful for everyone, there is no harm in trying it out.
