Finding a career that achieves satisfaction is a process. It starts with assessments selected to identify your interests, the abilities you need to use and the personality factors that shape how you approach work. Consultation connects those findings with your external needs and circumstances.
Through your completed profile and consultations, you will know the careers in which you can achieve success and satisfaction—and what those careers need to offer you. The next task is to use that knowledge in choosing your direction and moving toward it.
1. Choose and complete your profile package
Begin with the goal you want to reach: career direction, college and career choices, leadership or another development need. Compare the assessment coverage, reports and debrief formats on Find My Profile Package, then buy and complete the package you choose.
The assessments are completed online. Packages differ, so check the actual product inclusions rather than assuming every package contains the same tests or reports. Current prices are shown on the linked TestEts product pages.
2. Identify what satisfaction requires
The assessments provide different kinds of information:
- Interests: The subjects and activities that engage you.
- Internal needs: The abilities and contributions you need opportunities to express, explored through Highlands ability patterns and interpretation.
- Personality factors: Your preferred approach to the work, including information, decisions and interaction.
The point is to understand what you need from work, rather than choose a career from one isolated score. Career Satisfaction Tests explains what each assessment contributes and why a package brings different perspectives together.
3. Interpret the findings with Marjorie
During each debrief, Marjorie Wall Hofer gets to know who you are, what you do best and how the findings apply to your goal. Bring examples of work you enjoy, work that drains you and results you want to question.
Each assessment in your selected package includes consultation. In packages offering video + consultation, work through step-by-step interpretation before a comprehensive consultation. In consultations-only packages, debrief the results directly with Marjorie. See what happens in a career test consultation.
4. Include the life your work must support
External needs and circumstances require a conversation. Discuss the income you need, your schedule and location, family or other responsibilities, available training time and the changes you are prepared to make.
Some requirements are firm; others are preferences or can change over time. The consultation helps you identify which are which and how they affect the careers, roles and settings you consider.
Illustrative example: You may want work that combines analysis and helping people, while also needing to stay in your current location. The process is to identify suitable careers, then investigate which roles and employers offer the activities and conditions you need. A career title alone does not answer both questions.
5. Decide your next step
Decide your next step at the final profile consultation. Review the combined findings, your satisfaction requirements and the direction you want to pursue. You and Marjorie can then create a coaching plan for the goal you choose.
Targeting and Landing are possible next phases. Both require coaching sessions with Marjorie. Agree on the scope of that further work and what is included; continuing coaching is not automatically part of every profiling package.
If you are unsure whether you need a different career or a different job within your field, start with Career Satisfaction vs. Job Satisfaction. That distinction helps you decide what kind of change to investigate.
