Self
Awareness
To begin your career development, you need to identify your
skills, interests, values and the lifestyle you wish to
lead.
Define Your
Profession
You need to become familiar with the overall picture of your
profession and the industry. Achieving this will help you set
and achieve your career goals.
The Resume
Your resume should contain information that is informative,
concise, consistent and highlights your individual skills and
experience.
The Cover
Letter
The cover letter gives you the chance to emphasize what you have to
offer and how you could "fit in" to the company.
The Job
Search
When managing your job search it is critical that you rely on more
than one method to obtain job leads. Balancing different
strategies simultaneously can help you work smarter, not harder,
and increase the probability of your career success.
The Interview
Process
The interview gives you the opportunity to market yourself and
demonstrate your skills, experience and qualifications.
Evaluating
the Offer
The key to choosing the right job is knowing what is most important
to you and determining which organization offers the most of what
you are looking for in an employer.
Negotiating
the Offer
In considering salary offers, your primary concern should be with
the scope of the job and its potential, and the reputation and
future of the company.
