Making the right career choice

Choosing the right career might be one of the most important decisions that one makes. Being satisfied with what you do on a daily basis is the key to success and happiness.

 

Fortunately for you, there is a process by which you can make the right career decisions.

 

Step 1- Know Yourself

1. There is no universal right career. What you have to find is what is the right career for YOU.
2. The first step in finding the right career for you is knowing yourself. While there are many ways to introspect and analyze yourself the most scientific way is to take a career assessment test.
3. The right career assessment test will measure your interests, aptitudes and personality traits and then integrates the results to provide you with the career best recommendations.

Step 2- Know your options

1. Once you have completed the test you will get a better understanding of what the right career choices are for you. The next step is to better understand these career options.
2. Learn the details about what it means to have a career in a particular field. What does a particular career option mean, what are the educational requirements, which colleges offer these courses, what are the job options once you get the degree?

How do you find out all this information? 

• Read articles on the Internet, browse through websites, ask industry experts and career counselors / career guide and gather as much information as you can.

Step 3- Make an Informed Decision

1. After step 1 and 2 are complete you are ready to make an informed decision. Take the information you gathered about yourself in step 1 and couple it with what you learned in step 2.
2. Introspect, speak to your family and friends and then make the right career choice and go on to have a successful career.
