Ready to get started? Here are 3 helpful steps to get you on track!

1. Create a list of your career goals. Consider what you are passionate about, what careers best suit your personality, career field stability, compensation, growth opportunities and other factors that are important to you. Goals can be both short-term and long-term. Having a clear list of your goals will help you choose the best career field for you and, when times are challenging, will help motivate you to stay on task. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook provides information that may be helpful in your planning.
