Our online questionnaire
We use an online information-gathering tool called CareerStorm Navigator™, launched in 2003 and available exclusively through professional advisers.
It’s not a test, and it won’t benchmark you against some population. Think of it as a high quality, user-friendly electronic notebook which will prompt you to think concretely and creatively about your situation, your destination, your interests, your skills, your style and your values.
You will access it privately over the internet, and work with it at the pace and intensity that suit you. You can return to it whenever you want, over a four-month period, to change what you’ve written, add to it or print it off.
