Career Planning Process
How do you get started with the career exploration process? There are three major steps in the process, although you may find that you may circle through this process many times throughout your professional life.
Begin your process of self-discovery by reflecting on your career related interests, skills, values and personality. What are the fields or types of work that capture your attention and inspire you to want to know more? What do you like to do and what skills would you like to develop? Self-assessment is essential in order to make informed decisions about your major(s) and your career choice(s).
