I got about 60 recommendations from call centre operator to IT director. One pays 10x the other, talk about broad brush!

From what I can see I could basically be anything I want to be (but I didn't get boxer)
I think I'm going to go for Stunt Performer. I already do all my own stunts, so have years of experience.

Not bad, actually:
Hospitality and food, plus Sports and Leisure: would explain my utter enjoyment of my first career, in group leisure travel, and tour organisation for elite rugby teams!
Computing: my most recent job before this one.
Managerial: so, that's kind of what I do now, then?
Social care: I've never done social care, but 20 years in education isn't that dissimilar, right?
Retail: er, nope.
Thankfully, I'm in a good position, career-wise, but I hope this tool proves useful for people who need it.

Nope, drilling down further, *all* my jobs are there apart from the one where I picked strawberries to earn enough money for beer.
Apart from the one I hold a qualification to do.

Amongst a wide choice - call centre operator or IT director.
I think I'll go for the £140k IT director. Is there a link to apply?
Although, and what I also found in many aptitude tests/appraisals etc, that what soemone wants to do doesn't always match what someone is capable of doing.
Also - sounds like the career assessment I did 40 years ago - at a gov 'executive appraisal'.
I'd spent 2 years doing A level (Pure maths, Applied Maths, Physics) and 3 years doing a Maths degree. The result of the 2 hour assessment? 'good with numbers'
Oh - back on topic, I could be a cake decorator, apparently. What answers do I need to change to become a 'cake taster' ?

I could be either a Headteacher (people who know me will find this hilarious) or a hotel porter or (amongst a number of other things) a countryside ranger.
The job I actually do didn't come up at all and I didn't get anything sporty - not even boxer!

If you go through the whole test clicking "it depends"
it tells you:
What you told us
Your answers show that:
you like dealing with complicated problems or working with numbers
Because of your answers, we could not recommend any job categories. You might want to go through the assessment again to check that your responses were correct.
Which is interesting as my honest answer to many of the questions would be "it depends"
