‘Unsure of what job you may be interested in, the following quiz will suggest a short list of jobs that would suit your skills and that you may be interested in. All you need to do is reflect upon a number of statements and decide what you love, are not sure about or dislike. The statements are presented within six occupational categories (artistic, realistic, conventional, enterprising, and social), which are then ranked against jobs.
