How do you choose a career?

How do I choose a career? Should I continue with my Education? Where do I start?

These are common questions for univeristy students. It is normal to be unsure of your direction. A great way to start exploring your options is to evaluate what is important to you. What do you enjoy doing and what is your personal style? You can then use this information to assess your compatibility with a career to guide you in making an informed decision.

At the Student Resource Centre we use two surveys to aid students, staff and faculty explore these questions. The Myers/Briggs Personality Survey and the Strong Career Inventory.

  • Evaluate yourself
  • research your options
