Career Pathways gives you career recommendations after you take a short, image-based assessment of 60 work activities. It also recommends simulations related to the careers that best match you. Try it out at [pathway.siminsights.com](https://pathway.siminsights.com/).

## Take the assessment To begin, click the **Start the assessment** button on the home page or the **Assessment** tab at the top of the page. {% hint style="info" %} You must be signed into your HyperSkill account to use Career Pathways. {% endhint %}

On the Assessment screen, go through each of the 60 image-based work activities. For each image: * Click **Yes** if the activity interests you or is something you would want to do for work. * Click **No** if the activity does not interest you at all. * Click **Skip** if you are unsure.

## Your results After the 60 images, Career Pathways shows 10 potential careers based on your answers, ordered by how closely each career matches your RIASEC profile. A RIASEC profile is a ranking in 6 categories that Career Pathways uses to find careers that suit your interests. Your profile is shown immediately after you finish the assessment and shows where you rank in each category.

## My Matches After you have completed an assessment, you can view your career results at any time in the **My Matches** tab at the top of the screen. Each career result shows: * What the career is about, the median salary, annual job openings, the industry it fits into, and its growth rate. * Why Career Pathways recommended it for you. * The top skills and knowledge areas needed for the career. * The take-home pay. * A typical 5-step pathway for securing the career.
