Wyvern Media Group information: Choosing a job
Starting out As you start to think about choosing a job, you will not know about all the jobs available in particular industries, but a good starting point is to think about what you enjoy, where your interests lie and what you are good at. The more clearly you know what interests you, what you like doing, what your talents are and which skills and strengths you want to use in your working life, the easier it is to recognise the opportunities that best suit you.
Once you have an idea of the type of work you would like to do and the industry you would like to work in, it is important to research the jobs available in that industry. Remember you can never do too much research - visit your university careers centre, use search engines and read job adverts.
What jobs suit me? Ask yourself what is really important to you and what you are willing to do. Everyone has unique motivations and ambitions and yours may be different from those of people you know. Writing your ideas down or talking them through may bring out more possibilities. Your friends and family may help you identify the key deciding factors for your career planning and may point out strengths that you take for granted.
