The new O*NET Interest Profiler (onetinterestprofiler.org) makes it easier than ever to discover your work-related interests and explore career options that are a good fit for you.
- Use your phone, tablet, or laptop to answer 30 questions and quickly get a personalized profile of your interests.
- Learn about your interests, then see careers matching your profile. You can tailor the career list to your needs and goals with several filter and sort options.
- Each career displays key information like preparation level, salary, and job outlook. Full career reports and job postings are only a click away.
- Share or print your profile, then come back later to keep exploring on any device.
If you use the O*NET Interest Profiler in your application or website, please see below to learn how this new release will affect you.
Direct Web Links
No action is needed. Your customers will be automatically redirected to the new Interest Profiler, and benefit from the updated interface and features. If you like, you can update your links to use the new, shorter address (https://onetinterestprofiler.org/).
IFrame Widget
To switch to the new Profiler right away, new widget code is available in the My Account section. You can replace your current embedded widget with the new one, so your customers can take advantage of the new Profiler's shorter format (30 questions vs. 60), updated interface, and new career-exploration features.
In 90 days, the current widget will be upgraded to feature the new 30-question Interest Profiler. If you take no action, the previous 60-question Interest Profiler widget will not change until January 5, 2026. On that date, your widget will automatically feature the new Profiler; no action is needed on your part. If you currently provide instructions, training materials, etc. to your audience, please update them by January 5. We recommend you manually switch to the new widget code mentioned above before January 5, to ensure the upgrade occurs at a convenient time for your organization.
Web Services API
The current Interest Profiler APIs have not changed and your applications will not be impacted by the new Interest Profiler. Scoring and career results will continue to work in the same way. The only difference is that the activity questions and results in your application may differ from those displayed at My Next Move.
New APIs will be introduced in the first half of 2026 to provide the career returns and additional customization options (filters and sorts) seen in the new Profiler. If you wish to add some of the new Profiler's features into your application right away, its activity questions are available from the Mini-IP API, and the information displayed for an individual career is available from the Career report APIs.
