Its a journey of self-discovery, like any other
process it requires planning, organizing, and
execution of different tasks. Completion of
each task brings you one step closer to your
long-term career plan. The advancement happens by
achieving short term goals step by step. One
should have a detailed plan of the subjects to
choose, courses to pursue, extracurricular
activities to indulge, and internships to apply
to land in on the interview table for their
dream job. Research is the most important aspect
of a career plan, one needs to tap as many
sources as they can and make a custom plan for
themselves. Self-awareness plays a critical role
in the path of a career plan.

Step 1 Knowing your interests well
The very first step to an informed decision is
knowledge of self. List down all the subjects
that hold your interest. It could be social
science, mathematics, English, etc. It is less
likely to have a specific list of subjects that
interest you, we as humans are versatile
creatures. Most definitely, while choosing our
career paths we get confused amongst our choice
of interests We suggest to pen everything down.
From your favorite subjects to study to your
favorite movie genres to your favorite books to
read. Dig deep into your consciousness! Be as
specific as you can get.

Step 2 Take a career evaluation test
It is less likely that you will ask yourself the
right questions to know your interests, so let a
career test do the job for you. It will only
take 10-15 minutes in answering the
multiple-choice questions. Be as instinctive as
you can be ie dont think too much before
answering a question. Here is a career test we
recommend using https//www.yourfreecareertest.c
om/career-tests/free-career-test-for-
students/ This test will give you a detailed
report based on your answers.

Step 3 Tap the most important resource Human
Resource
Try to get in contact with someone who has made
the same choice. Talk about their experience in
detail and get some insight.
  • Do not consider their advice as concrete, listen
    to them to get another perspective before making
    the final
  • decision.
  • Chances are, after getting these questions
    answered. You will get more clarity, that is
    this for you or not!
  • Again, If you cannot find a trusted senior, you
    can always consult a Career plan or hunt for an
    appropriate candidate on LinkedIn. You will be
    surprised to see how willing people can be to
    share their experiences.

Step 4 Identify the gaps in your profile and
filling them.
It is highly likely that your current profile is
not tailor-made for your dream career path. You
will know the different courses you could pursue
to better your profile. Apart from technical
qualifications, a lot of other skills need to be
picked to build an effective resume which
increases the chances of getting
shortlisted. As you go in detail of job
qualifications, responsibilities, and
duties. You can figure out the gap that you have
and fill it by going for a short- term course,
an internship, or maybe a part-time job
opportunity that reflects well on your resume.

Step 5 The persuasive ability of an effective
Resume and LinkedIn Profile.
LinkedIn is a platform to build your professional
network. If an employer wants to run a
background check on your profile, your LinkedIn
profile is the first thing they will
check! LinkedIn not on helps in building network
but also It provides a space to celebrate your
career advancements, achievements, and
professional journey. It is important to build a
detailed profile and keep updating about what
have you been up to in your career. LinkedIn
will definitely help you in Step 3 of the career
plan as well. You can always approach people
through LinkedIn, by sending them a connection
request and gently ask your queries which are
relevant to them.

Conclusion
Never underestimate the power of knowing yourself
while taking decisions about your career. There
is a reason why career plan is becoming
exceedingly important. A lot of options are
available to us, Hence an informed choice is
mandatory to make the most of it! Majority of
the effort has to come from the individual so

forward There is scope in terms of money and
growth in just about any profession. What is
most important is to be prepared to face the
challenges to reach the height career plan you
