Chapter Summary
Show Up:
- Career exploration consists of two elements: self-analysis (exploring the self) and research about potential careers.
- Self-analysis means assessing and exploring our values, personality traits, interests and skills.
Work Hard:
- Research about careers includes academic research using scholarly and governmental sources and hands-on research with experiential activities including informational interviews, shadowing, observations and volunteering.
- Be aware of the brand you’ve created on social media since career contacts will search for you online.
Ask for Help:
- HACC’s Career Services offers many tools for self- and career exploration. See HACC Career Services [hacc.edu].
- Creating an academic plan ensures students stay on track toward their educational credentials by taking the correct classes in the correct order.
- The three types of classes you may have in your academic plan are prerequisites, general education and major requirements.
- Every student has an assigned academic advisor to assist with creating and completing an academic plan, and students should meet with their advisors each semester.
