• Resources
Planning
• What are your interest?
• What do you want to be?
• What are your skills?
• What types of careers fit your skills
and interest?
• How do you prepare for the career?
Interests
What are your interests?
• Take the time to think about experiences that you recall
that you enjoyed
• Make a list
• Evaluate those interests. Think about what you liked
about the activities. What challenges did the activities
offer? What skills do you need to develop further to
continue in those activities?
Skills
What are your skills?
• Evaluate school, volunteer, work, or leisure
experiences.
• Make a list of your school activities (clubs,
organizations). Make a list of any volunteer work
you have done (either through social, civic or
religious organizations).
• After you have assessed your interests and skills,
determine the relationship between skills and
interests and possible careers. You may need to
research types of careers
Goals
What is your Career
• Career goal helps you focus on what you want to do for a
living.
• Rather than limiting your future, a career goal may help you
discover career possibilities that you wouldn't have thought
of otherwise.
• Career goal will also guide you into doing what you want
with your life -- rather than just drifting into a job.
• Career goal is based on your skills and interests, career
possibilities, and job trends
• Create a career plan
• career plan determines your skills and interests, what career
best suits your talents, and what skills and training you need
for your chosen career
Preparation
How do you prepare for the career?
• Selecting a school
• The courses you take in high school, the grades you make, your class
rank, the results of your standardized tests, and the life experiences
you have all play a part in determining whether or not a college will
admit you
• Familiarize yourself with the different types of schools
• Find out what characteristics to look for when selecting a school
College (public/ private)
Trade school
Religious
Athletic
Academics
Education
What education is required for your chosen
career?
• What level of diplomacy is needed for your particular
career
Personal Lifestyle
Think about this while considering your career
• In thinking about your future, you must consider what's
important to you in your daily life. What would you think
about a career that required a great deal of travel? Is the
amount of money you make important to you
• How would you feel about a job that required you to
move on a regular basis? What hours of the day or night
will you be working? Choose three or four aspects of
your future lifestyle that are most important.
