Career Preparation: In order to prepare for a career, you need to learn responsibility, self-discipline and time management. Honesty and personal integrity are also expected on any job. In addition, it is important to have a good understanding of career paths and how to find jobs in your chosen field. You will develop a career plan that describes your goals and plan of action. In order to develop a career plan, you need to compile information about yourself, information about requirements for education or training and information about the job market. The following is an example of a career survey I completed in Advisory. The career assignment it made for me was to look for a job in the creative art industry.
