Like the Occupational Outlook Handbook (above), this site offers career information informed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the United States Department of Labor. Check out this site to learn about specific occupations, career clusters, and how your interests might align with various occupations. This site also offers a free interest inventory, called the O*NET Interest Profiler. This is a great tool for students who don’t know where to start in their career exploration. It can help you discover your interests and how your interests relate to the world of work. The profiler asks a series of questions (that you answer on a five-point scale ranging from “Strongly Dislike” to “Strongly Like”) and determines your unique Interest Code (in just a few minutes!). Based on your answers and your Interest Code, the profiler provides a list of suggested careers that might be worth further research.

You can adjust your results by modifying the “Job Zone” (i.e., level of education/training needed).
