- These are some tools to help you with your Career Success Plan. (Each graphic is linked to its own page. Turn up volume for CTV). The University spends big $$$ to bring these to you – take advantage.
- Sound career choices require information - information about you and about occupations. Whether you are declaring a major or preparing for your job search, there are several steps you will want to focus on in the career development process. The staff in the Career Development Center will help you along this journey - one which is unique to every individual. In support of its new mission and direction, the Career Development Center offers this Career Success Plan to guide you in preparing for future goals: Assessing - your interests, values and skills Exploring - your career options and academic majors Building - your job-search skills Experimenting - by gaining career-related experience Implementing - your plan by connecting with career-related opportunities or preparing for graduate or professional school Practicing - life-long career management
- Assessing - your interests, values and skills Career interest assessments can help you find out about yourself and aid in developing a plan for your future. If you have not yet declared a major, you will want to meet with your Academic Adviser in the Academic Support Center . If you have declared a major then you should meet with your Career Coordinator in the Career Development Center (CDC). Focus II Self Directed Search CDC Internet resources list
- Exploring - your career options and academic majors The next step is to relate your self assessment to different majors or career fields. Researching and exploring different fields is important for learning how occupations are organized, grouped and clustered by similar skills, abilities and interests. Other topics to consider are: nature of the work activities, educations/training, work environment, career ladder, outlook, salary and benefits, personality characteristics, and advantages and disadvantages. It is important to investigate the variety of majors and the many careers to which they can lead.

- [Sample video – make certain volume is on and use IE browser] Building - your job-search skills After you have declared your major, explored different career fields, and selected a field, it is time to develop job search skills so you can successfully communicate your skills and abilities to the needs of employers. Knowing yourself through self assessment and knowing what it important to potential employers through career exploration will enhance your job search skills. Whether you are applying for internships, co-ops or full-time career positions, you will first need to learn to develop effective resumes, cover letters, and interviewing skills.
- Experimenting - by gaining career-related experience Once you have developed your job search skills, you can get practical information and experience through a variety of programs. First-hand experience may be gained by participating in Cooperative Education, Internship, Experiential Learning (EXL), Service Learning, or Student Employment programs across the MTSU campus. You may also consider conducting informational interviews, job-shadowing, or volunteering to gain greater insight into a particular field. It is important that you “test” your skills and abilities and gain related experience.
- These are pictures of MTSU students. The Task Force debated over whether to use our students as examples because a parent may be in the audience. But, we feel this is a good example of how the information students are posting is public domain.
- At some point, you are going to have to implement your plan: either get a job or go to grad school! Implementing - your plan by connecting with career-related opportunities or preparing for graduate or professional school As you near the completion of your academic career, you will want to meet again with your Career Coordinator to develop your own personal job search strategy. If you are going to graduate or professional school, you will want to meet with faculty in your department. Both of these processes take time to implement.
- Practicing - life-long career management Your first job out of college is the first of many experiences you will have. In a recent longitudinal study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals held an average of 10.8 jobs from ages 18 to 42, with the majority of the jobs being held before age 27. (In this report, a job is defined as an uninterrupted period of work with a particular employer.) The skills you develop early on will lay the foundation for future career successes.
