Get personal
Get started on your new journey by making a personal profile. Think about what you like doing or what interests you the most. Some of the questions you can ask yourself are:

  • What am I good at?
  • What makes me good at these things?
  • What extra-curricular activities do I like?
  • What skills or qualifications do I have?
  • What do I want to achieve in life?
  • What do I value most?

Also consider what you want from a career:

  • Do you want to work outdoors?
  • What hours do you want to work?
  • Where do you want to work?
  • How much money you want to make?

At the same time think about your strengths and weaknesses. Maybe you’re really good at dealing with people, but hate having to work out the finances.

You can also log on to www.jobjuice.gov.au and take the career quiz. It only takes a couple of minutes and it can give you heaps of ideas on the type of career that may suit you best.

Make a plan
Once you’ve done the hard yards and decided on a career direction, write out a plan of how you’re going to get there. Depending on what you have decided to do, you may now have to start investigating tertiary education options, or start applying for apprenticeships.

Alternatively you may have decided to do something completely different and take time out from thinking about the future and do some travelling instead. Whatever it is now is the time to start looking into how to achieve those goals. Always be prepared to be flexible - and remember - changing your mind is perfectly OK.
