Your career profile identifies work that fits your interests, natural abilities and personality. A consultation connects that knowledge with the life you need your career to support: your income requirements, responsibilities, location, available time and goals.
The aim is clear: you will know the careers in which you can achieve success and satisfaction, and understand what you need from the work and the workplace. That is why consultation is part of The Career Profiler’s profile packages.
What a report cannot know about your life
An assessment can reveal a strong interest, an ability pattern or a preference in how you approach work. It cannot have a conversation with you about whether a particular opportunity meets your needs now.
Perhaps a career uses your abilities but requires training you cannot undertake this year. Perhaps you love the work but need a different schedule. Perhaps your current job pays well while leaving little room for the activities that make work satisfying.
Those details belong in the consultation. Marjorie Wall Hofer gets to know your situation, interprets your results with you and brings your internal needs and external requirements into the same discussion.
Bring the findings together
A profile package can examine different parts of career satisfaction. Interests reveal activities that attract you. Highlands ability findings help identify abilities you need opportunities to use. Personality findings help explain your preferred approach to work. The particular assessments and reports depend on your package.
The useful conversation is about how those findings fit together. A career title alone is not enough detail: two jobs with the same title can offer very different tasks, responsibilities, relationships and working conditions.
Illustrative example: You enjoy analyzing problems and explaining solutions. One role might let you investigate independently and then advise a client; another might involve constant interruptions and very little analysis. The consultation helps you specify the work you want to do and the conditions that let you do it well.

Questions belong in the debrief
A surprising result is something to discuss. Bring examples of when the description fits and when it does not. You and Marjorie can examine the meaning of the result, the way you approached the assessment and how it relates to the rest of your profile.
The purpose is to understand and apply the findings, rather than accept a label without discussion. For example, the Myers & Briggs Foundation describes feedback as a collaborative process for verifying best-fit type.
Interpretation does not make a test infallible. If a concern raises a question about further assessment or retesting, discuss the reason, available options and applicable terms with Marjorie. A retest provided in a past client situation is not a blanket promise of a free retest.
Choose how to work through your results
Video + consultation: In packages offering this format, work through step-by-step video interpretation, then have a comprehensive consultation with Marjorie to connect the results to your situation.
Consultations only: Debrief the results directly with Marjorie through personal consultations.
Each assessment in your selected profile package includes consultation. Check the package’s product page for its format, reports and session inclusions. See Career Test Consultations: What to Expect for the full debrief process.
From your profile to a plan
First, buy and complete the profile package of your choice. Use the assessment debriefs to understand what you need at work and which careers can provide it.
Decide your next step at the final profile consultation. You and Marjorie can create a coaching plan for the goal you want to reach. Targeting or Landing may be the next phase; both involve coaching sessions with Marjorie. Agree on that further work and its scope rather than assuming continuing coaching is included in every profiling package.
Included consultation or free introduction?
Your assessment debriefs are included in the paid profile package. The separate free 30-minute introductory consultation clarifies the process and helps you understand package choices before buying.
