Finding the Best Career for You

Interests, values, personality, and skills are the “building blocks” of sound career decision-making. Each one of these building blocks can help you identify satisfying and meaningful careers.

For many people it’s difficult to know how to get the pieces to fit and what picture they will form.

This Web chat will help you create an individualized career development plan that will focus on identifying careers that "fit" – based on your interests, values, personality, and skills – and then developing concrete action steps for moving forward in realizing your career goals. So if you're having a problem getting the pieces to fit, join us for this interesting and engaging Web chat on how to create an individualized career development plan.
