- Identify your interests, values,
abilities, and personality.
- Generate a list of occupations that best fit these interests, values,
abilities, and personality.
- Narrow your list to those occupations that you feel are worth further
investigation.
- Talk with people actually employed in the occupations in which you
are interested. Ask if it is possible to spend some work hours with
those persons for an agreed-upon period of time. This will give you
an idea of the day-to-day tasks of the occupations. Also, you can
watch videos or read about your occupations of interest in the Career
Counseling & Testing Center to give you an idea of the daily
working life of someone in a particular occupation.
- Attempt to gain first-hand experience in work settings of interest
through volunteer work, part-time or summer employment, internships,
or cooperative education.
- Decide which career to pursue.
- Develop your academic degree plan with your advisor so that you
are prepared to find a job in your chosen profession.
