Career Planning

Answer 3 key planning questions to take charge of your career:

1.Who am I? Discover what gives you "passion" by exploring your values, interests, skills that energize & motivate, prior accomplishments, likes/dislikes, preferences and preferred work environment.

2.Where am I going? Explore practical & ideal career goals. Research alternative goals by planning for and conducting information interviews.

3.How will I get there? Develop your career plan with both a short- and long-term focus. A career plan might include negotiating changes in your current job; going back to school; expanding interests outside of work through volunteering; or deciding to begin a job search.
