Skillsometer

This is a tool if you aren't sure of the job that you may be interested in. It looks at your skills and interests and the way that these link to jobs. It can be a helpful first step in identifying possible future jobs.

Careerometer

This can be used to explore and compare key information about different careers. It provides a description of the career as well as data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects.

Type in the name of the job you are interested in and the widget provides you with a series of options from which you can select the role most relevant to you.

You can then look up to careers to compare.
