Think about your goals
Think about what you want from your career. Perhaps you want to be in a career that involves helping other people or doing something creative?
Know your own strengths
Are you a ‘people person’ or do you work better alone? Are you good with words or do you prefer numbers?
Look at the job market
If you are open to different options, do some research into the job market. Which sectors will need workers in the coming years and what skills will they need? This way, you can find a career that is likely to offer lots of interesting opportunities
Try to plan ahead, step by step
Think about which entry-level jobs will give you the most relevant experience and which ones you are most qualified for. Some jobs might need academic qualifications, but others might involve on-the-job training.
Do not be afraid to change your career path
We sometimes have to try out a few jobs to find the right one. It is also normal to sometimes want a new challenge. If you are not enjoying your work, do not be afraid to change your route to find the right career path.
Prioritize job satisfaction
Motivation is an important part of working life. The most important thing is to keep in mind what you want from your career and try to find a job that makes you happy on a day-to-day basis.
