The Workplace Career Preparation

Knowing Yourself Aptitude – natural talent and capacity for learning particular skills. Interest and skills: Look closely at your answers. In school, the classes you like best indicate your interests. Leisure activities also offer clues to interests. Individual or Group Work. Career success is more likely when personal skills relate to the work. To identify your skills, think positive. Remember that no one is “average” in everything. When you look closely, you can always find things that you like to do and that you do well.

Knowing Yourself Interest Surveys Developing Skills When interests and skills aren’t clearly apparent, special surveys identify interests and skills, through responses to questions. They give a good idea bout the career field you may want to consider. Developing Skills Academics should never be overlooked. Skills developed in classes affect performance on any job. www.livecareer.com

Researching Career Paths Once you’ve pinpointed your interests and skills, look for careers that match. Focusing one one or two career clusters narrows your search more quickly. By studying a cluster, you can learn where to begin a career path that links a series of related jobs within a field of work.
