Career Testing & Assessment

You will spend 1/3 of your life at work.
Miss this critical step and you could spend it dissatisfied, underpaid, or worst of all—bored.
Most people never figure this out.

What is CAREER Testing & ASSESSMENT?

Career Testing & Assessment is for people struggling with making a career decision and/or choosing a career path.

We use a comprehensive battery of tests that collects data about who you are and what drives you to get out of your bed in the morning to go to work, and help you to make a data-driven career decision to choose a career direction that will be satisfying to you long term.

Our unique combination of career tests offers quick relief and clarity. Career Assessment can validate if you’re on the right track and give you peace of mind that you’re making the right choice.

Who is CAREER Testing & ASSESSMENT for?

Career Testing & Assessment is for people who are unhappy with their work, but don’t know what they would rather be doing. We affectionately refer to this group as “the career confused”.

If you are unsure about what you want to do with your life or what you want to spend the majority of your time and energy each week doing, feel stuck, and need help figuring out net steps, Career Testing & Assessment will untangle it all and provide the direction you’ve been seeking.

HOW DOES it WORK? 

We use a combination of Career Coaching and a battery of tests to assess your interests, values, personalities, work style, and life context to develop a career profile that points to specific roles and industries that will be the best fits and those to avoid.

DATA COLLECTION

  • We collect quantitative data about you through assessments examining: personality, skills, interests, values, and work style, and motivations

  • We collect qualitative data through an interview where we ask you everything else a test won’t pick up on (e.g., career history, salary requirements, interest in additional training, desired geographic location, visa status, family responsibilities/plans, etc.)

    ANALYSIS

  • Our team of Career Coaches review and interpret your data where they combine multiple sources of data, draw connections, and determine what you need to be satisfied at work

  • Our team of Career Coaches hold a case conference about you and choose specific job titles for you based on your results

    RESULTS & ACTION

  • We send you a written analytic report with the raw data, interpretations, and the top job titles for you to review

  • Meet one-on-one with a Career Coach to discuss findings, develop a career exploration/research plan, and schedule follow-up calls to discuss your progress and feelings along the way

  • Collaborate with your Career Coach to develop a plan of action to implement your career change (i.e., strategies for how to move into a new or adjacent field, even if you don't have experience)

“After years of feeling dissatisfied in my current field, I discovered Wanderlust Careers, and it was — no exaggeration — life-changing. The Career Assessment and Career Coaching has pushed me toward a major career change in my late 30s, and I’m now considering two job offers and more graduate school. Their process (not to mention the outcome) is truly empowering! I would recommend Wanderlust Careers to anyone. Thank you!”

— MEGHAN / NEW YORK, NY / PUBLIC RELATIONS → TEACHING

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Working with Wanderlust Careers changed my life, I have recommended them and their services to all of my friends, family and ex-coworkers (emphasis on ex!)
I spent years feeling lost and unfulfilled in my career. I really needed some direction and someone to help me better understand who I am and what would make me happy. Not only did I make a massive career change (from sales to graphic design), I better understand who I am and have become a happier more confident person because of it.
The report that WC provided was so in-depth, it even brought to light how my childhood experiences (such as my parents divorce) might have influenced my aptitudes. Even if you are not looking for a big career change, its a fascinating experience which I think could help anyone to become a happier person.
As an adult you don't always give yourself permission to explore your interests and make big changes. WC Career Coaches help to identify your passions and validates them, giving you the courage to move forward.”

— LIZZIE / NEW YORK, NY / SALES → GRAPHIC DESIGN

“Working with Wanderlust Careers has been an absolute pleasure and a tremendous help, thanks to my career coach’s reassuring, reasoned approach to personality types and problem solving. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone feeling stuck, directionless, or just in need of a little extra push, to work with Wanderlust Careers!”

— PHOEBE / SAVANNAH, GA / GRAPHIC DESIGN → OFFICE MANAGEMENT

“Wanderlust Careers provided great guidance at a time when I was feeling extremely stuck in a mild quarter-life career crisis. Their background in psychotherapy and mental health contribute to how easy it feels to sort through goals, obstacles and solutions in order to get pointed in the right direction.”

— REED / NEW YORK, NY / COMMUNITY SERVICE MANAGEMENT → UX/UI DESIGN

“After cutting ties with a job and career path that had left me feeling unfulfilled, I had several questions that I was struggling with, in creating a new path. Wanderlust Careers’ process helped me with these questions. Through several tests we were able to get a clearer picture on my strengths, passions, and general work preferences. We then used that to put together a game plan to find a situation that would be a good fit for me. The support continued as I started actively searching for jobs - including up-to-date, effective strategies in connecting with potential employers, as well as thorough resume and cover letter reviews. Immediately, I received responses from a number of places I applied to, and interviewed with several companies until I completed the process with a position and company that felt right. My current job is feeling much more fulfilling than my previous one, while in an environment much better suited for my strengths. From start to finish, Wanderlust Careers’ process has greatly assisted me in developing the skills necessary to first define what I want, and then go execute those goals.”
