Some people have a definite long-term career goal and work towards it.
They are focused and know what they will achieve. For others, their
goals are yet to be discovered. They may follow various paths of
interest and are willing to explore the opportunities that arise.
Finally, some people have so many things they want to do, that they’re
not sure which path to choose first.
People who make decisions and work towards goals achieve success,
even if their goals or plans change after starting out. Remember,
your first job will rarely be your career for life. Always ask yourself,
“What is the very next step for me?” Action creates success.
You can find advice on careers available, how to get a job, how to
access the training you want and what further study and courses are
available. Work with your school guidance officer, school counsellor
or careers adviser.
Career questionnaires can be helpful. Attend
career markets, expos and open days.Keep an eye out for school
notices and the local media for details of these events. At these you
will find TAFE colleges, universities, employers, private providers and
government organisations all ready to help you. Just ask them. That’s why
they are there.
Have fun exploring the following websites with information on job
and career opportunities and tools to help you gain insight into
your interests, values and abilities.
