Career Planning

What is Career Planning?

Career planning is a continuous process that involves self-discovery (what are my values, interests, skills, and asprirations), exploring options (both academic and career), and making decisions (and setting goals).

Career Services assists students in assessing their skills, interests, and values along with academic and career options; how these elements interact in making positive career and academic decisions.

How Do I Start the Career Planning Process?

Self-knowledge is an essential step for everyone, and is often the first step. It involves looking at various aspects of who you are.

Education and Career Information is the next step in the process. Research these points to further develop your knowledge base and make decisions based on the ‘best fit’ for you.

Placement refers to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the job search process. Resume and cover letters, interviewing, networking, decision-making are a few of the activities that occur at this point of the process.
