Some people know from a very early stage what they want to do but, for others, deciding upon a particular career path is a daunting task. There is no single way to approach career planning, as everyone makes decisions in different ways. Working towards an answer often involves:
Understanding what matters to you in terms of your career
Exploring the options available and researching your idea
Assessing your skills and identifying what you have to offer
making that final decision
It is always a good idea to develop a careers action plan to help keep you focused and on track. This will help you to plan your short, medium and long term goals. You need to bear in mind practical considerations such as your personal circumstances and family commitments that might impact on any career choice that you make.
