Why take a career quiz?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do a career quiz in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best reason to take a career assessment is that the way we approach our jobs is changing. For many decades, the idea of a career for life was a staple part of the labor market. However, recent research has proved this to be a myth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to The Washington Post, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2021\/08\/16\/us-workers-want-career-change\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a third of U.S. workers under 40<\/span><\/a> considered changing careers during the pandemic and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average person born between 1957 and 1964 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/pdf\/nlsoy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">held 12.4 jobs between the ages of 18 and 54<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So much for jobs for life, then! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And with today&#8217;s labor market proving even more unpredictable, just imagine how many jobs younger generations can expect to have in the same timeframe. At some point, career change practically becomes a necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a job quiz is no crystal ball\u2014only you can decide what you want\u2014taking one can help nudge you into exploring new industries or sectors that your existing skills and values are suited to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It can also help you identify potential areas of interest you may not have considered before now. Everybody wants to feel fulfilled in their work, and it\u2019s never too early to too late to make a change. So, there&#8217;s really no reason not to give it a go.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-career-quiz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.
