Your report is a starting point for exploration, not a decision about your future. Use it to compare personal fit, current opportunity and the routes that could help you move forward.
This reflects how closely a career aligns with the interests, subjects, preferred activities and confidence you shared in the assessment.
Remember: A higher score means stronger alignment with your answers. It does not guarantee that you will enjoy the career, and a lower score does not rule it out.
This reflects current labour-market conditions, using available evidence such as advertised vacancies, salary, recent market direction and graduate supply.
Remember: It is not your chance of getting a job. Market conditions change, and a lower score may still represent a worthwhile career for the right person.
A strong Personal Match with a weaker Opportunity score may still be worth pursuing with careful planning. A strong Opportunity score with a weaker Personal Match is worth investigating, but it should not outweigh what motivates you.
The volume of advertised vacancies for the career in your selected region.
The salaries currently being advertised for that occupation.
Whether advertised vacancies appear to be rising, stable or falling across the available snapshots.
An indicative comparison between regional vacancy demand and UK-wide graduate supply for the related career group.
Vacancy demand is regional, while graduate supply is UK-wide. The comparison is an indicative signal—not a literal vacancy-to-applicant ratio.
Career-specific vacancy data is available for your selected region, so the Opportunity score can use current demand and salary evidence.
There is not yet enough matching regional data for that career. The score is still useful for exploration, but it relies on broader career intelligence rather than a complete live market picture.
Compare Personal Match and Opportunity together. Look for careers that interest you, not simply the row with the highest number.
Read what the role involves, the qualifications and subjects that may help, the work environment and the skills employers value.
Look at vacancies, salaries, market direction, graduate supply and the date of the latest data snapshot.
Consider university, apprenticeships, college and direct employment. The best route depends on the career and how you prefer to learn.
