Deciding your Career Goal
written by UltraJob
By matching your requirements with the jobs available in the job market, you will have a clearer idea of your options. Some of the job profiles will seem more interesting and you will be drawn to them. These are the things you envision yourself doing. Now is the time to decide the direction you want to take.
- Remember to consult the lists you made. Your chosen industry should come as close to those lists as possible.
- Be practical. It is quite possible that none of the options match your needs perfectly. That is why you need to prioritize. Be aware of the factors you do not wish to compromise and be prepared to let go of some things. Consult a career counselor if you have any problems deciding for yourself. They can help you find out more about your chosen field and even give you an aptitude test.
- Explore the financial aspects and other practicalities of the chosen field. If your highest priority is to have a high paying job, you will have to let go of fields where you cannot hope to earn much.
- While you are at it, learn who the biggest employers in that field are. Try to gather information about their recruitment process.
