CareerGlass’s assessment below:
Personality/Work profile
A person’s strengths, aptitudes, abilities, work style and personality factors are the most
important factors in determining whether a person is well suited to certain types of work and career
paths or not. CG’s specialized personality assessment component generates a wealth of information
regarding these factors. This information includes a list of your best work environments and factors
that are likely to motivate you and contribute to your job satisfaction. This information is
presented in the CG Personal Profile Report and is also used to generate your customized list of
high potential job and career path options.
Skills and Interests
Your skills and interests are essential pieces in the process of making informed job and career path
decisions. This component will identify and confirm your skills and interests. This information is
used, along with the results from the other components, to generate a list of recommended job titles
and career areas that will give you the best opportunities for finding rewarding educational, work
and career experiences.
Work Preference Assessment
How you like to accomplish work and what work preferences you have are important factors in making
good career path decisions. CG will use your work likes and preferences as a part of the process to
generate your list of high potential job, career path and college major options.
Your Best Job Matches
When you have completed the questionnaire, CareerGlass will automatically generate a list of your
highest potential job titles. Alongside of each of your job title matches you will see a college
graduation cap icon. Clicking on the cap icon will show you your list of high potential college major
matches. On each job title line you will also see an information icon that you can click on to learn the
following about that particular job:
- Typical job descriptions and work activities
- Salary and compensation ranges
- Educational requirements
- Required skills, knowledge, abilities and strengths
- Credentials, tools and technologies required
- Personal work styles that function best

that will offer them the best opportunities for job satisfaction and success. The information in this
report will help you better understand your personality and how these personal factors combine to make
you best suited for certain types of jobs and career paths. As noted in the Personality Assessment
feature, this personal profile information is also used to generate your list of high potential jobs,
careers and college major options. This report contains:
- A narrative report that describes your personal and work style.
- A listing of your strengths
- A listing of your primary motivators
- A listing of your most comfortable and productive work environments

Passions Identification Exercise
CareerGlass offers an additional exercise that helps you identify and confirm your passions. Research
consistently shows that people who pursue vocations that involve their passions are more likely to
experience long term job satisfaction and success. This information can be used to narrow down and
refine your job, career and college degree choices.

Once you have made a decision regarding a job area, career path or college major, you can use the CG
