Choosing
a career path is one of the most important decisions young people
make in their life. From investing time and efforts to funding their
studies, career decisions define how your professional life will
start and progress throughout the years.
Julie
Medeiros, a founder of
Miss
M Online Classes shares ways to help today’s students choose their career path.
As
a business professional with a sound career in corporate business, my
advice is to follow your passions.In the ever changing world,
the only way to succeed as a person and an expert, is to draw on your
strengths and natural talents. Therefore, it is important to
understand what you are good at and what comes to you
naturally.
Once you have a clear picture, see where and how
those talents can be applied. For instance, if creativity is your
strength, you may want to explore professions that require amazing
creative skills, such as playwriting, digital or industrial design to
name a few.Visit a few workplaces, talk to people from those
professions about their career journeys, ask what inspires them and
what challenges they come across.
- Read job requirements on job
hunting websites to learn about employers' expectations.
- Search
online interviews of people from the area you are interested in to
understand the hidden side of their roles.
- Check market trends of the
industry to understand which direction it heading to and what skills
may be required in the future.
Australian
research
predicts that future employees will have on average 18 different jobs
over 6 distinct careers due to shorter length of time workers stay in
their role.
Thus, to keep employability and increase the value of
your resume, you need to pursue lifelong self-education and be ready
to upskill yourself through corporate trainings and independent
learning.
One
piece of advice I’d like to share is - don't choose a career path
based on earning prospects.
You can achieve amazing success in any
area, including financial remuneration, if you dedicate efforts to be
able to offer unique expertise in the field you choose to pursue.
For
that to happen, you need to have curiosity to acquire new knowledge,
be observant how different departments of a company contribute to
bigger goals and draw on your true passions that will inspire and
fulfil your future career aspirations.
