• What is your Career Goal?
A career goal helps you focus on
what you want to do for a
living. A career goal can be a
specific job you want to do --
such as doctor or teacher -- or
a career goal can be a
particular field you want to
work in, such as medicine or
education.
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
• What is your Career Goal?
Rather than limiting your
future, a career goal may
help you discover career
possibilities that you
wouldn't have thought of
otherwise.
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
• What is your Career Goal?
A career goal will also guide you
into doing what you want with
your life -- rather than just
drifting into a job.
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
• What is your Career Goal?
Generally, a career goal is
based on your skills and
interests, career
possibilities, and job trends.
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
• What is your Career Goal?
Once you have chosen a career, think
strategically about the steps to
accomplish your goal. Understanding
and accomplishing your career goal
will be a lot easier if you create a
career plan.
CCaarreeeerr GGooaall
• What is your Career Goal?
A career plan determines your skills and
interests, what career best suits your talents,

your chosen career.

work, or leisure experiences.

• 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

part in determining whether or not
a college will admit you.

• 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?
LLiiffeessttyyllee
• 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.
RReeaadd
• Ask your school librarian to
help you find books on
careers that might match your

careers that you may never
have considered.
TTaallkk
• Visit with your counselor
about your interests and
abilities. Find out if your
