CAREER TESTING & CAREER ASSESSMENT

Career testing and assessment is right for anyone who is struggling with what to do and in which direction to turn. Get career direction, even if you have no idea what you want to do.

Our unique combination of validated career tests and assessments offer instant clarity. Our technique provides results that serve as a solid guide in making career decisions, showing with data, which career direction would be best fit for you and why.  

Miss this critical step and you could spend that 1/3 of your life dissatisfied, underpaid, or worst of all—bored.

Career Assessment Client Testimonials

Client Testimonials

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

— MEGHAN / NEW YORK, NY / PUBLIC RELATIONS → TEACHING

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Working with Katherine changed my life, I have recommended her services to all of my friends, family and ex-coworkers (emphasis on ex!)
I spent years feeling lost and unfulfilled in my career. I really needed some direction and someone to help me better understand who I am and what would make me happy. Not only did I make a massive career change (from sales to graphic design), I better understand who I am and have become a happier more confident person because of it. 
The report that Katherine provided was so in-depth, it even brought to light how my childhood experiences (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. 
As an adult you don't always give yourself permission to explore your interests and make big changes. Katherine helps identify your passions and validates them, giving you the courage to move forward. 
I also had the pleasure of meeting Michael, he is also a wonderfully attentive person and would recommend him for life coaching.”

— LIZZIE / NEW YORK, NY / SALES → GRAPHIC DESIGN

“Working with Wanderlust Careers has been an absolute pleasure and a tremendous help, thanks to Katherine’s reassuring, reasoned approach to personality types and problem solving. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone feeling stuck, directionless, or just in need of a little extra push, to work with Wanderlust Careers!”

— PHOEBE / SAVANNAH, GA / GRAPHIC DESIGN → OFFICE MANAGEMENT

“Wanderlust Careers provided great guidance at a time when I was feeling extremely stuck in a mild quarter-life career crisis. Katherine’s background in psychotherapy contribute to how easy it feels to sort through goals, obstacles and solutions with her, in order to get pointed in the right direction.”

— REED / NEW YORK, NY / COMMUNITY SERVICE MANAGEMENT → UX/UI DESIGN

“After cutting ties with a job and career path that had left me feeling unfulfilled, I had several questions that I was struggling with, in creating a new path. Wanderlust Careers’ process helped me with these questions. Through several tests we were able to get a clearer picture on my strengths, passions, and general work preferences. We then used that to put together a game plan to find a situation that would be a good fit for me. The support continued as I started actively searching for jobs - including up-to-date, effective strategies in connecting with potential employers, as well as thorough resume and cover letter reviews. Immediately, I received responses from a number of places I applied to, and interviewed with several companies until I completed the process with a position and company that felt right. My current job is feeling much more fulfilling than my previous one, while in an environment much better suited for my strengths. From start to finish, Wanderlust Careers’ process has greatly assisted me in developing the skills necessary to first define what I want, and then go execute those goals.”
