1. Assessing
your interests, values and skills
Career interest
assessments can help you find out about yourself and aid in
developing a plan for your future. If you have not yet
declared a major, you will want to meet with your Academic Adviser
in the
Academic Support Center.
If you have declared a major then you should meet with your
Career Coordinator in the Career Development Center (CDC).
Your first job out of
college is the first of many experiences you will have. In a
recent longitudinal study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals
held an average of 10.8 jobs from ages 18 to 42, with the majority of
the jobs being held before age 27. (In this report, a job is
defined as an uninterrupted period of work with a particular employer.)
The skills you develop early on will lay the foundation for future
career successes.
