Career Development Report

activity, or in preparation for job hunting the on-line Career Development
Report service is designed as an affordable and easy way for both private
individuals and organisations to obtain individually produced Career Development
Reports.

personality test prior to being interviewed - very useful when being
asked to identify your own strengths and weaknesses.
