People change their careers for a variety of reasons. They may not have made a wise choice initially. Or, the career they selected no longer exists. Or, they want to match their changing values and needs to a new set of career possibilities. These are just a few examples. Although there is no simple solution to finding the right career path for you, there are simple steps you can take utilizing all of your resources to make a good decision. Take advantage of any opportunity to consult with the important people in your life. Often other people can identify skills and qualities that you possess even if you can’t see them in yourself. Discuss your questions and concerns with friends and family and, if you are a student, be sure to schedule a one-to-one appointment with the career advisor on your campus.

In fact, when the time comes to write your résumé and prepare for a job interview, you will find the task easier if you have completed the self-assessment process first!

YOU are the place to start, so ask yourself:

• What do I do well?

• What am I good at?

• What do others tell me?

• What do I enjoy doing?

• What turns me on?

• What energizes me?

Answers to these types of questions and many others will help you identify your strengths and make decisions around the contributions you can make.
