Explore Careers

A self assessment of your interests and abilities can help you know the right jobs to look for. Many workers do not know what they want to do or would enjoy doing to earn a living. Many people get a job and continue with that job until they lose it or it no longer exists then go to another job and continue the pattern.

Wouldn't it make your job search easier if you understood what jobs you might be a good "fit" for, what skills you need, and which employers hired those types of workers? Well, you can! Exploring career options is one of the most important things you will ever do, and we have some easy to use tools to help you narrow down the field. Find out which occupations are the right fit for your personality, interests, abilities and skills.

Texas Career Check (Occupation and Skill Computer-assisted Researcher) is easy to use - it only takes about 15-30 minutes. Once you complete the assessment, OSCAR tells you which occupations are a match, information about occupations, and the demand of the Texas labor market for those occupations.

CareerOneStop also has a lot of resources for investigating what you might like to do, and has national labor market information.
