Career and study guidance
How to choose a profession?
How do I know what I should study?
This article explains how to conduct career guidance / academic counseling online
Complete career guidance combines exploring what attracts and interests you, as well as which profession suits you in terms of skills and personality.
Career counseling usually begins with a career tendencies/preferences questionnaire, such as the Holland or RAMAK questionnaire.
The purpose of a career tendencies questionnaire is to give you a partial and initial answer to the question 'what should I study?', 'which profession suits me?', meaning to discover through it what attracts and interests you.
Career counseling in choosing a profession requires much more than that, a career tendencies questionnaire is a necessary but not sufficient condition, the next step is to determine what your skills and personality are and whether they are indeed suitable for the profession. This combination between your preferences on one hand, and intellectual skills, abilities, and personality profile on the other, is typically done with the help of a career counselor in face-to-face meetings or even on Zoom.
LogiPass's online career counseling has its own unique advantages. LogiPass is the only company that offers such a service in Israel, many counselors see it as a professional and valid decision support tool that should be integrated into the counseling process.
The service relies on a massive and up-to-date database that lives and updates daily in the selection processes of the work world.
What exactly is the difference between academic guidance and career guidance?
Academic guidance can be viewed as a means, we want to acquire the necessary education to be accepted for a job in a profession we love, and therefore - Career guidance is the essence or goal we want to reach, because it's not enough to succeed in studies, we want to implement the training we undergo in the work world.LogiPass is a leading company in selection, assessment, and matching candidates for jobs, many clients and career counselors use it daily. And it can help you find which profession suits you according to real and up-to-date standards, LogiPass does this through a unique and innovative computerized system that allows examinees to go through all stages of career counseling online. At the end of the process, LogiPass provides detailed and in-depth recommendations including a summary recommendation of your compatibility percentages for each of the professions you chose through the tendencies questionnaire and beyond, depending on the package selected.
Another equally important thing - professional guidance mainly focuses on your cognitive skills, since tens of thousands of examinees have already acquired the desired education for the profession in which they were tested, it can be said with a high level of certainty that if the recommendation percentages that LogiPass will give you in a certain profession are above average, that profession will suit you both from an academic perspective and the training involved, as well as from a professional, personality, and functional perspective in the work world.
How are we different, what makes us unique?
LogiPass is the only one that also examines the compatibility of counselee skills and personality to the professions they love, it does this through a computerized

low price and with immediate results.
To discover which profession suits you, you will need to go through 2 stages:
1. Career tendencies/preferences questionnaire and selection of preferred professions for examination
A simple and direct questionnaire, which through a long and comprehensive list of statements, will help you identify what is closest to your heart, what attracts you, and what you would like your preferred profession to include.
Examples of such statements:
• I tend to make friends easily with new people.
• I tend to act carefully and not make mistakes.
• I tend to take a dominant position in my workplace.
And so on...
At the end of the tendencies questionnaire, we will present you with the 15 professions that are preferred by you as follows (for example):
But does that mean that it's suitable for you to study and work in these professions also in terms of skills and personality?
Unfortunately not, we need to continue and clarify this through tests and questionnaires that will check exactly that, your level of compatibility with each of the chosen professions, with your personality, and also with your various skills.

personality profile as will be explained below.
