FCM is Unlike Any Other Service in the World!

FCM uses powerful tools and methods that no other career matching service uses at any price.

But FCM is not a business, it is my passion. My ONLY goal is to find the perfect career options for the student.

I'm not driven by finances, but by serving you with excellence.

Four-Tool Scientific Method

In-depth personal interview to learn all about you

RIASEC vocational personality test to link your personality to careers

Myers-Briggs type personality test to understand how you process information

Proprietary Keyword Query for self-assessment

Hand-Crafted Personal Analysis

Getting the right answers begins with asking the right questions.  I do not simply ask what you like, but I dig down several layers to find out why you like it.

All matches are hand-curated, not picked by algorithms

Detailed rationale provided for each curated career option

 

Holistic assessment based on the entire person

Unlimited Personal Investment

I will meet with you as many times as you'd like, and spend as much time as it takes to find your perfect career fit

I'm driven by passion, not profit

Deep personal investment in YOU, far beyond the cookie-cutter approaches other services offer

Excellence is my standard. "Good enough" is never acceptable

All without any cost, obligation, or selling of your information....... EVER!

About Free Career Match

 

My name is Greg Gipp.  I have a BSEE and an MSEE and I spent 34 years as an Engineer at a Fortune 100 company  specializing in deep research and problem solving.

​​

Now retired, I want to give back by helping students and career changers find careers they will absolutely LOVE.  Unlike other services I don't use algorithms

or generic assessments to generate cookie-cutter matches.

​​

My unique approach:  I personally hand-craft every analysis using four powerful tools, spend unlimited time understanding the "why" behind your interests, and provide written detailed explanations (not canned responses) for every recommendation.

 

This isn't a business - it's my passion. I love this work more than my 34-year Engineering career, which means that I never settle for "good enough".

Every student gets my absolute best.

Since 2022 I have been privileged to have helped more than 40 students. 

I would love to help you as well!

Cost

Notes on Cost & Obligation

100% Free Service

There truly is absolutely no cost, obligation, or catch of any kind.  I will never ask for or accept money or gifts, and I'll never distribute or sell your personal information.

Service Philosophy

I have been richly blessed and am doing this in service to God, though this is available to people of any faith or those who are not religious. My passion is to help young people avoid costly mistakes in career and college choices and I strive for absolute excellence in everything I do.

Ongoing Support

I am committed to meeting with you as many times as you'd like to answer any questions, or provide additional help in any way I can. Even after you have started training, or even after you've entered the workforce. Unlike every other service that puts a limit on personal interactions, I am always available - at no cost.

NOTE: For students under 18 at least one parent must be present at the interview and copied on all communications
