“Are there resources to help me find out what I'd be good at?”

Yes! Figuring out what you’re good at starts with learning about yourself. That’s the first of 4 steps in planning your career.

The quizzes and exercises on CAREERinsite can help you answer the following questions.

• What’s important to you? What are your values?
• What are your interests? What do you like to do?
• What are you good at? What are your skills and abilities?
• What comes easily to you? What are your strengths?
• What are your personality tendencies and traits? Are you outgoing? Confident? Detail oriented? Artistic?
• What makes you feel proud?
• What are you passionate about? What motivates you?
• What is your preferred learning style?
• What is your vision for the future? What are your dreams? What kind of life do you want to have?
• What kind of workplace would you enjoy?

Once you have the answers, analyze how your interests overlap with your skills. You’ll find what you’re good at in the sweet spots where interests and skills intersect.
