Knowing where to begin when you first start exploring your career options isn't easy.

CareerMatch helps by suggesting career sectors that match your interests. It finds these out by asking you 80 questions. It's easy to use and only takes around 15 minutes to complete. When completing CareerMatch for the first time, if you decide that you want to change any of your answers part way through, you can use the arrow to the left of the question to move back.

When you've finished you can save your CareerMatch report to your Portfolio. You can also print it out, and do it again if your interests change. The good thing is that your answers are saved, so if you go back into CareerMatch you'll see that for each question your original answer is highlighted. If you only want to change some of your answers you use the arrows to the left and right of the questions.

As an added extra you can also use your CareerMatch responses to generate a report listing courses that match your interests. Just select CourseMatch and View results.

Please note: If this is the first time you've used CareerMatch you'll need to sign up before you can use it. This allows you to save your career suggestions in your Portfolio and access our other career planning tools and resources.

Option choice isn't always easy, but it is important. Your choices in school will have an impact on your future learning and career options. So, it's worth putting in the time to think them through properly and plan ahead.

It's important that you:

find out as much as you can about the subjects and courses open to you - your subject teachers will help you with this

are positive and realistic about what you can achieve

think ahead, about how useful subjects and courses will be to you in the future

understand why you are choosing a particular subject or course, and sure that your reasons are good ones

explore the wide range of careers open to you, and the different routes you could take to get into them

keep your future career options as open as possible

ask for information, support and advice when you need it.

Getting ready to choose

These interactive tools will help you prepare for your option choice decisions.

Subject Choice - helps you to reflect on the subject and course options that are available to you, and rate them according to your level of interest.

Options Elevator - helps you to think about the steps you should take before you make your choices.

The Great School Subject Debate - helps you to think about your reasons for choosing certain subjects.

Struggling for career ideas

If you don't have any career ideas yet, don't worry. It's still early days, and if you need some suggestions you can use CareerMatch. It produces a career ideas report based on your interests.

It can be a bit worrying choosing GCSE and A Level subjects, let alone further education choices, especially when you don't know what job you want yet . It doesn't have to be.

There are thousands of interesting opportunities and organisations all around the world. They may need someone just like you to come and work for them in a few years' time. It's just a matter of finding out what's out there, what interests you, what you would be suited to and what skills you will need.

That's where First Careers comes in.

Careers inspiration

While you've been busy at school, we've been busy checking out hundreds of organisations to discover the most interesting jobs. From a video game sound designer, to a food and drink manager on a cruise ship, to a football photographer, we've met real people with real jobs, so you can see for yourself what they do each day.

Careers advice with a difference

Our honest job profiles give a taste of what it would be like to land your dream job, plus many of our interviews are carried out by young people, so you get the lowdown on the things that matter most to you (like, whether maths is really important, after all).
Check out our careers library
PARENTS!

If you're not sure how to start a conversation about careers, or how to advise your children on possible careers they may be suited to, why not sit down as a family to watch a few short films, or read some of our day-in-the-life job profiles, then use them to talk about possible career options? Career aspirations start earlier than you think, so it's good to get kids thinking about their futures.

TEACHERS!

Looking for ways to introduce careers advice? Watch our videos in class or print out some job profiles to kick off a discussion about the types of jobs your pupils might be interested in. First Careers is a digital outreach program that brings careers inspiration into your classroom and helps give subjects real world meaning.

Work Experience Opportunities

After you have been inspired, keep an eye on our work experience opportunities tab where you will find the latest exciting openings to see first hand what it's like to work within some of the country's biggest and most successful companies.

First News

First Careers is brought to you by First Group Enterprises Ltd who also publish the children's newspaper First News.

Children can subscribe to First News at home. For details on our education products for schools visit First News Education.
