Work Satisfaction

Work Satisfaction & Required Proficiency Explanation

 

Will this job make you happy? The Work Satisfaction section looks at attributes of a particular career that may contribute to a person's level of satisfaction in that career. Are you looking for a stable career with a clear line of promotion or one where advancement is more closely tied to performance than seniority? Do you enjoy working with others or on your own? Work Interests look at broad attributes, while Work Needs present a more detailed view.

Each factor is given a score of 0-100, based on the degree to which that attribute is present in the selected profession.
