"Have you set yourself a realistic career goal?"
HELP YOURSELF…
Firstly… make sure you have looked at the exercise “Decisions… Decisions…”
Now…
Help Yourself!
Write down YOUR story!
Then answer these questions again…
- do you know enough about yourself – your interests, abilities, personality, etc?
- have you enough information about the options you are considering (work and study)?
- have you sought the advice of other people?
- are you taking into account only present considerations, or are you thinking of the future?
- have you reached a decision yourelf, or have you been forced into it in some way?
Has your decision been affected by:
- what your friends think of your actions?
- the expectations of your parents?
- probably incorrect information which “someone” has told you?
- trouble with, or a dislike of, your present situation?
- little or no guidance from others?
- taking the “easy” way out?
- traditional stereotypes i.e. “that’s no job for a girl”?
