If you are a recent college
graduate, or if you are looking to
make a career transition, the most
effective way to proceed is by

Rather than formulating an idea in
your head, write it out and keep a
copy readily available to check your
progress or to make adjustments
along the way.
![Page 5: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

TARGET YOUR
DREAM JOB
![Page 7: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Decide what you want to do for the
rest of your life. The ideal position may
morph over time.
![Page 8: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
For example, you could begin your
career as a general practice nurse and
eventually specialize to become a
nurse anesthetist.

Choose a career area, field, or industry
where you would like to focus your
professional efforts.
![Page 10: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
INVENTORY YOUR
CREDENTIALS
![Page 11: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Take stock of your achievements so
far. Include:
College degrees
Certifications and licenses
Extended learning, meritorious
service as an employee or volunteer
Job skills mastered to date
![Page 12: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
You may be able to see patterns that
will help you recognize your interests
and strengths.
There's a good chance you would
likely excel in a career that utilizes
those qualities.
![Page 13: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ACKNOWLEDGE ANY
WEAKNESSES
![Page 14: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Conversely, note any
lacks or weaknesses in
your professional
development to date.
![Page 15: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For example, if you would like to
work as a foreign language
interpreter but have not yet
mastered any languages, you will
have to address that need.
![Page 16: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SET SPECIFIC GOALS
![Page 17: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Instead of writing that you
want to have a career
position within six months,
for example, indicate which
career field interests you, and
what type of position you
would like to have.
![Page 18: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
List steps you will take to reach your goal, such as:
Applying for twenty jobs each week
Posting a job-related blog on social media
Volunteering in your chosen career field to learn
new skills and meet relevant professionals.
![Page 19: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ESTABLISH A
TIMELINE
![Page 20: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Your timeline should be based on
weekly and monthly career-oriented
activities, not just long-term goals.
![Page 21: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For example, you could tweet or
blog three days weekly about an
area of expertise, or you could apply
for ten jobs a week.
![Page 22: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You can also join a business group and
attend monthly luncheons. You might
plan to contribute an article to a trade
publication every three months.
![Page 23: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Make good use of your skill set to
set and meet career objectives.
![Page 24: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IDENTIFY RELATED NEEDS
![Page 25: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Be realistic about monetary or
time-related needs to address
so that you can meet your goals.
If you join a local business
group, you might have to buy a
professional outfit to wear.
![Page 26: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Blogging or applying to jobs weekly
might require ten hours or more of
your time.
![Page 27: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In addition, consider other reasonable needs that can
help you meet your goals, such as seeking out a mentor
or hiring a career coach for a few sessions.
![Page 28: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PERSEVERE
![Page 29: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The important thing is to keep
working at your job goals.
![Page 30: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You may get frustrated or
prospects may appear slim,
but don't give up.
![Page 31: How to create a career plan that really works](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020300/58a42be81a28ab3e3d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Success might be just around
the corner when you send out
that next batch of applications
or schedule another interview.
