Step 2: Exploration (Discover Your Options)

It would be almost impossible to really know about all the different careers and career fields that exist in the world, and new industries are constantly developing or evolving.

You can, however, make a start.

First, do the self-assessment that we mentioned in step 1. Continue to do this. You will constantly grow and change throughout your life time, and you will always be learning more about yourself.

Second, research careers and industries that interest you. There are many ways to do this, from reading about them to informational interviews to internships. Also, as you are exploring where you want to go, you will also be learning about the kind of environment where you’d like to work, from a small company to a large corporation and everything in between.
