National Career Development Month and particularly today, National Career Development Day, is a great time to take a moment to reflect upon your career development. A good starting point is taking time to review the basic steps in the career development process. The following is an overview of the steps:
1. Understanding Self
During this step individuals focus on identifying their interests, personality, skills, and values.
2. Exploring Careers
During this step individuals focus on learning more about careers.
3. Making Decisions
During this step individuals evaluate their options to develop a personalized plan.
4. Finding Employment (and Gaining Practical Experience)
During this step individuals focus on getting a job, obtaining an internship, or exploring options for gaining practical experience.
Learn more about each step and identify resources to assist you by visiting NOVA’s Career Services website.
