If you're deciding on a profession or considering a career switch, you might not know where to start. A tried-and-true tool is to list your skills and fields where you've received training, then match these talents to jobs that are a good fit.


Before you begin, however, it's a good idea to take a few free online career aptitude and career assessment tests to help you decide "what you want to be when you grow up." Some of these tests are not only informative, but also just a lot of fun to take – especially the ones that suggest careers based on your personality!

Your next step will be to list the hard skills (professional competencies gained through education and on-the-job training) and the soft skills (social, personal, and interpersonal qualities) that you possess. A combination of hard and soft skills is normally required by employers, who want to hire people who not only shine in their respective career fields, but also work well with others.
