Task 2. Steps in Choosing a Career. Fill in the table with the italicized words.

Key Language

Before reading the article I was sure that…

Make a list of occupations to explore, conduct informational interviews, assess yourself and set your goals, write a career action plan, explore the occupations on your list.

  Steps What to Do?
    Your values, interests and skills, in combination with certain personality traits, will make some careers especially suitable for you and some particularly inappropriate. Some people choose to have career counsellors but many opt to use free career tests that are available on the Web.
    Look over the lists of occupations that you want to take. They are probably rather lengthy. You have to come up with a much shorter list, consisting of between five and ten occupations. Circle occupations you may have considered previously and that you find appealing.
    For each occupation on your list, you will want to look at the job description, educational and other requirements, job outlook, advancement opportunities and earnings.
    You now need to gather more in-depth information. Your best source of this information are people who have first-hand knowledge of the occupations in which you are interested. Identify who they are and conduct informational interviews with them.
    Now that you have set your goals, you will need to decide how to reach them. A career action plan will help guide you as you pursue your long and short term goals.
