STEP
1
Begin with
Self-Assessment The job search process begins with an identification
of your values, interests, skills, accomplishments, experience,
and goals. How can you seek a position if you don't know what you
want from a job and what you have to offer prospective employers?
Self-assessment, though a time-consuming process, provides invaluable
information to facilitate career decisions and to prepare you to
market your background effectively.

and values and the demands of career fields and organizations.

Choose a Career
Field, then Target Employers After thoroughly researching possible
careers/jobs, several field options will emerge as most realistic
and attractive. These options should become your career or job search
goals. It is probable that no single career will have the potential
to utilize all your skills, allow you to develop all your interests,
and incorporate a value system completely compatible with yours.
Therefore, try to target a career field that will satisfy some of
your high-priority needs. Other needs of less importance can perhaps
be satisfied in your leisure time activities.
