Becoming more self-aware of your interests, motivations, and strengths may enable you to have a clearer understanding of the steps you need to take as you plan and prepare for a meaningful career. To help build upon your self-awareness, Career Services requires you to complete the CliftonStrengths and CareerLeader self-assessments before you meet with your Career Coach.

The CliftonStrengths assessment uncovers which talents you rely on to build relationships, think strategically, execute plans, and influence others, to accomplish goals. Knowing your unique set of talents, you’re empowered to succeed by doing what you naturally do best.

The CareerLeader assessment was created at Harvard Business School and designed specifically for business students and professionals. This valuable tool will provide you with insight into your skills, motivators and interests, and will measure how similarly you answer a set of questions, compared to professionals who are happily employed in their fields.

Please refer to the email sent to you from Career Services with assessment instructions. If you did not receive one, email Career Services directly at career.services@rotman.utoronto.ca.
