Know Yourself
In terms of career development, getting to know yourself simply means identifying your values, interests, strengths, traits, and ambitions. These play an important role in your career choice.
Career and personality self-assessments allow you to begin to answer some of these questions and reflect on what they mean to you and how they relate to your career goals.
The Bearcat Promise Career Studio offers the following structured self-assessments free to current UC students. After taking the assessment, you’ll meet with a career coach to interpret the results.
