Why is it important to research a potential career?
Did you know that most people spend more time researching their vacations than their careers? Yet your career directly affects your long-term personal happiness and satisfaction. The more you know about yourself and the world of work, the better equipped you are to make an informed decision about what career path to follow. In order to determine whether a career might be a good fit for you, you need to know a little about yourself. This may sound obvious, but often we don’t take the time to assess our own skills, interests, personality, or values. Career assessments can help you identify your interests, personality, values and skills. Occupational research can help you identify the working conditions, physical demands, skills and abilities, employment outlook and salary of an occupation you are considering.
