personality-type

 

Are you searching for a job but in dire need of making sure it is the “right” one for you?  As millions of people seek employment, not all are focusing only on the check. In fact, there are thousands who would rather have a profession that fits their personality, than one that merely pays well.

 

If this is you, prior to filling out applications, we recommend that you take a personality test. A personality test can help determine what’s your character like, what type of work is good, and what industry you’d be best suited for.  After you’ve taken the test and figured your personality type, then you can streamline your search efforts and focus on the jobs that match.

 

CareerBuilder.com offers a list of industries/careers for certain personality types. The online job search site also goes as far as to show jobseekers what the pay salary is for each position. Here’s what Career Builder suggests:
