How To Find The Right Career?
01.Understand who you are
The first step in making the right career choice is self-awareness. Get to know your personality, interests, strengths and values. Take the FREE CareerMe Test that identifies your vocational personality type and gives you a list of occupations to begin your career exploration (available in Sinhala, Tamil and English).
02.Shortlist occupations and begin exploring
Select 3 – 5 jobs that capture your interest and start learning more about them. Find job descriptions, educational, training and licensing requirements, and job outlook.
After gathering more information, you will be able to narrow down your list even more. You may begin eliminating careers that you don’t want to pursue due to various reasons such as being unable to fulfill the educational requirements, not liking the job responsibilities or lack of earning potential.
03.Develop a career action plan
Once you make a decision, it is important to write a career action plan, a road-map that outlines the steps you need to take to achieve your identified short-term and long-term goals.
04.Meet a career advisor
Navigating the career decision process alone is not always easy. Consider speaking with a trusted career advisor who can help you make sense out of the data and develop an effective career action plan with you.
