Usefulness of Career Inventories

I believe that the usefulness of Career Inventories is invaluable. The inventories help to put you in the right direction of what career you want to do. Understanding what you want to do in life is a challenge for everyone. I do not think that most people know exactly what they want to do. If you take some sort of test maybe you can be "pushed" in the right direction. What better way to put yourself out there than to have a resume, cover letter and references to show someone that might be a potential employer? That just shows that you are "on the ball" when it comes to the things that an employer would want.
