Career Testing & Assessment is for people struggling with making a career decision and/or choosing a career path.
We use a comprehensive battery of tests that collects data about who you are and what drives you to get out of your bed in the morning to go to work, and help you to make a data-driven career decision to choose a career direction that will be satisfying to you long term.

HOW DOES it WORK?
DATA COLLECTION: We collect quantitate data about you through assessments examining personality, skills, interests, values, work style, and motivations. We also collect qualitative data through an interview where we ask you everything else a test won’t pick up on (e.g., career history, salary requirements, interest in additional training, desired geographic location, visa status, family responsibilities/plans, etc.)
ANALYSIS: Our team of Career Coaches review and interpret your data where they combine multiple sources of data, draw connections, and determine what you need to be satisfied at work. Our team of Career Coaches then hold a case conference about you and choose specific job titles for you based on your results.
RESULTS & ACTION : We send you a written analytic report with the raw data, interpretations, and the top job titles for you to review. You will meet one-on-one with a Career Coach to discuss findings, develop a career exploration/research plan, and schedule follow-up calls to discuss your progress and feelings along the way. You will then Collaborate with your Career Coach to develop a plan of action to implement your career change (i.e., strategies for how to move into a new or adjacent field, even if you don't have experience).
Why it Works
Choosing a career is complex: there are countless variables to consider, which is why it’s so difficult to figure out alone. Our process makes career decisions data-informed, so you're not relying on a gut feeling or guesswork to make one of the biggest decisions of your life.

PUBLIC RELATIONS → TEACHING
After years of feeling dissatisfied in my current field, I discovered Wanderlust Careers, and it was — no exaggeration — life-changing. Wanderlust Careers’ assessment and career coaching has pushed me toward a major career change in my late 30s, and I’m now considering two job offers and more graduate school. Their process (not to mention the outcome) is truly empowering! I would recommend Wanderlust to anyone. Thank you, WC!

SALES → GRAPHIC DESIGN
If I could give 10 stars I would. Working with Wanderlust Careers changed my life, I have recommended their services to all of my friends, family and ex-coworkers (emphasis on ex!) I spent years feeling lost and unfulfilled in my career…The report that my coach provided was so in-depth, it even brought to light how my childhood (such as my parents divorce) might have influenced my aptitudes. Even if you are not looking for a big career change, its a fascinating experience which I think could help anyone to become a happier person.”
