Assess / Self Evaluation

This is the first step since it sets the foundation for the rest of the career searching and decision-making process.  Having a solid understanding of who you are is crucial when one is looking for a career that fits him/her well.

There are a number of available assessments to help one analyze their values, interests, personality, and skills; however, the Florida Department of Education has partnered with MyCareerShines to offer a number of online, free assessments for high school students: https://www.floridashines.org/find-a-career/plan-your-future
