CAREER CONNECT PREPARES YOU
Your
Journey
1. Discovery
2. Development
The key to growth lies in the discovery stage. Discovery encompasses a blend of self-discovery, as well as awareness of the market. Build on your strengths and navigate your weaknesses. As you learn more about yourself and the world around you, you will be better equipped to find your footing and have confidence in pursuing your aspirations.
Now that you have good knowledge about yourself, and can feel the pulse of the industries, it is time to identify areas of development and answer to the requirements of the working world. Learn a new skill, develop and demonstrate strong attributes in yourself.
Questions to ask yourself:
• What are the skills required for my aspired career choice?
• Who am I through the lens of others? • What are the career choices out there? • What are the careers suitable for me? • Where do I fit in? • How do I find my “sweet spot”? • How do I get there?
Questions to ask yourself: • What are employers looking out for? • How do I make myself known? • How do I hone and develop these skills?
3. Deployment The finishing point is in sight, the end is near and it is time for the final push. Some rough edges need to be polished while anxiety may begin to creep in. Let us be with you during this finishing lap.
Questions to ask yourself: • How do I crystallise all that I have achieved during my time here? • Where can I build a network? • Am I doing it right, or is there “blind spot” that I should be aware of? • Where can I find opportunities? • Is there a strategy in job hunting?
