Bloom Consulting is proud to offer you the Self-Directed-Search. The link offered below
is for your one-time only use as a valued client of Bloom Consulting.

Exploring career options can be an enlightening experience—it’s an exercise in learning more about yourself and about the opportunities that best fit your personality. The Self-Directed Search (SDS) is a career assessment created by Dr. John Holland that has been used more than 36 million times.

The SDS is based on Holland’s theory, known as RIASEC theory, that both people and work environments can be classified according to six basic types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional. One of the main ideas of this theory is that the closer your personality type aligns with your work environment, the more likely you are to find fulfillment at work.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The SDS takes about 20 minutes. When you are finished, you will receive a customized interactive report that includes occupational and educational options based on your Summary Code as well as options to further sort, search, and filter your results based on criteria that are important to you. Explore your results by career cluster, educational level, Holland Occupational Code, and projected job outlook.

There are many things to consider when deciding what career path is right for you. Bloom Consulting is here to help.
