Guide to choosing a career

When trying to choose a career or make a decision about further study, you should:

1. Understand Yourself
   Use self-assessment to find out more about your individual skills, interests and values, to gain an insight into suitable careers.
2. Research your Options
   Explore various career options related to your profile.
3. Make Decisions
   Decide on a short-list of possibilities and rank these according to preference
4. Implement your Decisions
   Implement a course of action to convert your choice into reality.

Another very good resource is the Windmills website, for a structured approach to career planning.
