Why You Need Psychometrics to Find the Right Career Path in International Organizations

If you’re beginning a professional career in your field of study, you might be considering a position with an international organization. Certainly, working for a non-governmental organization (NGO), policy think tank or international governmental organization has an allure. If you’re already working for the United Nations (UN), or a similar employer, you’ll know these are environments where you can find a gratifying job. For many wanting to build a satisfying career contributing to global causes and make a real difference, there’s no better professional choice.

You’ll find a host of job opportunities with these organizations – from direct service and advocacy to research and writing. You probably have a reasonably good idea of what type of work you gravitate towards. Having said that, if you’re already working for the UN or a similar organization it might be time to make sure it’s where you want to spend your working life. No matter how much work experience you’ve had or how self-aware you are, it pays to do a little detective work to find the best vocational fit. That’s where psychometric testing is an excellent investment.
