Don't know what you want to do?

Try the Skillsometer quiz below, choosing the emoji which best represents how you feel about each potential job. The jobs are broken down into 6 categories and your answers are ranked against each one. Once you've completed the quiz, you'll be given a short list of job suggestions that are most likely to be suited to your own particular skills and interests. Each job can be explored further as a description is presented together with information on pay and hours, or you can look up the job on CareerPilot. 

If there are a couple of jobs you're considering but you can't decide, the Careerometer below can be used to explore and compare key information about occupations.

It shows key UK headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects for different occupations, as well as description of the occupation.

Simply type in the title of the job/s you are interested in and the widget provides a series of options from which you can select the most relevant. You can then look up another two occupations and compare. You can also select ‘display the UK average’ and compare the information with the occupation you have selected.
