The Home Performance Resource Center is offering a Career Self-Assessment quiz to help you better understand whether a career in home performance is a good fit for you.

According to Efficiency First:

This tool assesses your preferences and skills in five areas: physical aptitude, social and technical problem solving, basic construction knowledge, sales skills, and work environment preferences. The skills and preferences that are assessed through the Career Self-assessment align with the profiles outlined in the profile page and informational pages within the Career Resources website. This tool enables participants to assess their fit in the Home Performance Industry and help them match their skills with key skills needed in this industry. The Self-assessment takes users an average of 20 minutes to complete. When users have completed their Self-assessment they will be issued their results in real time. Users can also email their results to themselves and other interested parties.
