New year, new career plan?

Get orientation with online tests

Created: 12/29/2022, 5:30 p.m

Would you like to change your career path and don't yet know exactly which direction to take?

Some tests can help you decide.

You spend a lot of your life at work – so it would be an advantage if you enjoy your job.

If you find that this is not the case right now, you may have time between the holidays at the end of the year to reflect on how you want to proceed professionally.

Various tests or information on further training can help you.

New career plan?

You want to change professional?

Online tests can provide initial orientation.

However, reflect in advance on what you expect from the new job.

In addition to discussions with family and friends, experts can also help you with your professional reorientation.

For example, the careers advice service of the Federal Employment Agency is a contact point.

However, if you want to make your daring plans without a personal consultation first, the New Plan project of the Federal Employment Agency might be something for you.

You can test yourself in three sub-areas and get ideas for your professional restart.

• Test opportunities: You can do a skills check, find out about further training or complete a test on development opportunities.

  The tests vary in time from a few minutes to almost two hours.

  Breaks in between are possible.

  At the end you will be shown possible further training and fields of activity that suit you based on the test results.

• Get inspired: Enter a job title in a search field.

  Appropriate job information is presented to you.

  Here are the tasks and a possible salary statement.

• Further training search: You can enter keywords that interest you in a search mask.

  Appropriate training opportunities are identified.

Don't miss anything: You can find everything to do with careers in the regular careers newsletter from our partner Merkur.de.

For whom is New Plan useful?

The Federal Employment Agency states on its own website that the project is primarily aimed at employees who want to reorient themselves and need support with further development.

Further training is not really for you - then maybe a lateral entry into another job would be more suitable?

By the way: If you are looking for initial training, then this project by the Federal Employment Agency is not for you, as those responsible at the agency note on their website.
