Planning For Career Success: Is Where You Are Going Where You Really Want To Be?

Abstract

It is not uncommon for college students to give little real thought to Job and career objectives until the realization hits them about the beginning of their senior year that they will soon have to find a job. This experiential exercise was designed to permit you to assess much earlier whether “where you are going” (the job and career you are preparing yourself for) is “where you really want to be” (what you are really working to accomplish). It will give you the opportunity to reevaluate job and career plans while there is still time to refocus your education and experience.
