You will now hopefully have a few ideas to look into!?!?
It will be a good time to get as much information as possible about these possibilities…
Activity 7: Collect information
Start a new page for each & make a notes for the following…
- Are they realistic?
- What qualifications are needed?
- What experience is needed?
- What personal/professional skills are needed?
- Are there similar positions/careers?
- Are there intermediate positions, through which to work up?
Here are a few helpful websites:
- England – https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk
- Northern Ireland – www.nidirect.gov.uk/careers
- Scotland – www.skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk www.myworldofwork.co.uk
- Wales – www.careerswales.com
- www.learndirect.com
Write down as much information as possible about each option. Make a note of all the transferable skills you have, as you go.
- Are all your options still realistic?
- Could options have short-term targets?
- Will options be long-term investments?
