How do you make a career choice when you dont really know what you want to do? Does it seem like an insurmountable task? Its not. Yes, you will have to put some time and energy into making your decision, but your effort will be well worth it in the end. Follow these strategies to making a good career choice.1)Before you can make a career choice you have to learn about yourself. Your values, interests and skills, in combination with certain personality traits, will make some careers especially suitable for you and some particularly inappropriate. You can use self-assessment tools, often called career tests, to gather this information and, subsequently, to generate a list of occupations that are deemed appropriate.2)Look over the lists of occupations generated through the self-assessment tools. They are probably rather lengthy. You want to come up with a much shorter list. Circle occupations you may have considered previously and that you find appealing. Write these occupations down on a separate list titled “Occupations to Explore.”3)For each occupation on your list, you will want to look at the job description, educational and other requirements, job outlook, advancement opportunities and earnings.4)You now need to gather more in-depth information. Your best source of this information is people who have firsthand knowledge of the occupations in which you are interested. Identify who they are and conduct informational interviews with them. 5)By now you should have decided on one occupation you want to pursue. Its time to put a plan into place so you can eventually find a job in that field, but first you will need to set some goals.6)Now that you have set your goals, you will need to decide how to reach them. A career action plan will help guide you as you pursue your long and short term goals.7)It is likely you will have to train for your new career. That could take the form of earning a degree, doing an internship or taking courses to learn some new skills.Episode 2Where to find?2. Script: There are many different places to look for jobs, such as employment agencies and newspaper ads. The internet is also a huge resource for job hunters, with most recruitment agencies now having some kind of website. However, in many industries the best way to hear about jobs is through word of mouth. When exploring your career options, talk to as many people as you can. Use your network of family and friends to gather information, and remember that networking is not something that's just done at stuffy business events. Unit 2 Attending InterviewEpisode 1 Know your company1. Script:F: Hi, Jack, you look excited! Whats up?M: Laura, you know what, Ive got an interview chance by Microsoft Company. Fantastic! That is my dream company!F: Congratulations, man! So when is the big day?M: This Friday morning. They asked me to attend the interview at 8:00 oclock on Friday morning. F: Well, you have only three days to get prepared for the interview.M: Yeah, pretty short time. Hey, have you got any good idea about how to prepare for the interview?F: Well, if I were you, the first thing I would like to do is to do research about your company before the interview.M: Research? You mean I google the company and get to know, for instance, how old the company is, how large the company is, where the headquarters are, something like that.F: Yeah, exactly. And that list can go on and on, say, what are its products or services, who are its customers, who are its major competitors, what is its reputation or industry standing.M: Wow, tough work.F: Just hold on, man. There are more things you need to know about your company. Wait a second, Ill show you an article about how to search your company on Career Guidance Magazine.M: Thats great, Laura.F: Er, here it is. First, the industry. Learn what general-interest publications, trade publications and blogs are saying about your employer and the industry as a whole. Depending on your field, you should be prepared to discuss your industrys financial prospects or other industry trends.M: Ok, the industry, I have made a note. Good, go ahead.F: Next, the companys mission. Its mission statement is something that outlines the companys values. It is on an About Us or similar page on the companys website. M: Right, the mission.F: The third, the companys recent achievement. While youre at the companys site, look for a Press Room or Company News page that links to recent news releases. Or simply search the Web for news about the company. M: Anything else?F: And your interviewers. If the company site has a search tool, use it to search for the names of the people you'll be meeting. You may find bio pages or press releases that give you insight into their most visible activities at the company. Then look to LinkedIn or do a general Web search to get some more background information about them. You might find some common ground you can bring up in conversation, or a recent professional achievement for which you can pay a compliment.M: Thank you so much, Laura. The article is very useful. I have one more question, Laura. Where can I get the information about the company on line in addition to , you know, Google, and the companys web site.F: Here are some other resources you can use to search a company, Business Wire, W. And People who already work at the company are another great source of information - they can give you insight into business initiatives and corporate culture. Start on LinkedIn to see if you have any connections - but dont stop there. Ask friends and relations if they know anyone who might have information to share about your prospective employer. M: All right, I have noted all this important information. Thank you, Laura. I owe you a dinner.F: You said it. I am starting to get hungry.Episode 2 Interview rehearsal2. 1) What is important to you in a job?

Script:JAMES: Hi, Nicole, thank you very much for coming in today.Nicole: Hi, JAMES. Its lovely to be here and I can see you got a lovely office of beautiful view.JAMES: Thanks.JAMES: Ok, tell us a little about yourself.Nicole : Well, I grew up on a cattle station in South Australia where my dad was a driver, and I went to school there and I left school a little earlier than most students. For the last a few years, because of my passion for fashion Ive been doing a few retail jobs in fashion industry. Ive come to realize was that I would like a career in marketing industry. JAMES: And what are your career goals?Nicole: Currently, I am interested in getting a thorough understanding of marketing, and how that fits into organizations. In a longer term, I am interested in a more senior role in marketing. But I am really looking forward to becoming more experienced and getting more knowledge of marketing in general.JAMES: I see here that your last position was five months ago, what youve been doing since then?Nicole: Well, I am glad you ask. I went back to South Australia for several months to look after my dad who just broke his leg, and that also gave me a chance to reflect on where my career has been going to date, and also allowed me to be clear about where I want my future career to go. Since I came back, Ive put my head down and been doing some research into marketing and the organizations.JAMES: How would you think your previous experience would serve for this role of marketing?Nicole: Well, I grew up on a farm which gave me many valuable qualities like candor, team spirit and also adaptability. And I think those qualities make up a lot for the lack of experience Ive got. Although I think the experience I got in the fashion industry will serve well in the marketing role because of everything Ive learned there.JAMES: Ok, thanks very much for your time, Nicole.Nicole: Oh, thanks very much James. I am really looking forward to hearing from you soon.Unit 3 On BoardingEpisode 1 Arriving at a new job1.
