CHOOSING A CAREER

Before choosing a career, you need to know what’s out there. To find out about career options:

Speak to friends and family about choices they made and how they made them.

Surf the Internet. Start with the list of great job sites.

Scan the employment section in the newspaper to see what jobs are out there.

Identify your likes, dislikes, strengths and limitations. Do you like technology, the outdoors, working with people? Are you artistic?

Make a short list.

Select a few professions that match your interests and strengths and find out about these professions. Talk to people in the industry. Then explore what further education or training is needed.

Get some experience.

Next, arrange to do work experience or arrange to visit workplaces of interest to get some firsthand knowledge.

And you don’t have to restrict work experience to the subject in your school curriculum. Take advantage of school holidays to get out there and learn more about the industries and careers you may be interested in. Once you have some idea what career(s) interest you, you need to choose the right school subjects to pay most attention to in order to ensure you’re heading in the right direction.
