Exploring Majors

Paper instructions:
This assignment is basically in three parts. Write your paper in the 3 parts indicated:

PART 1: Verify what your major interests are, and what careers might best fit those interests. Use the

information you got from the “Exploring Majors” and “Research Your Career” activities in Week 3,

especially an investigation of the various careers available.

PART 2: Based on your career interests, research at least three jobs using the resources of Career

Zone, and/or the Internet links suggested on the Library Career Management Subject Guide pages. The

first job should be an entry-level job you can get right after graduation. The second job might be a job

you would be ready for in five years after graduation, and the third job is your “ideal” job.
Include the job postings.

PART 3: Reflect on your career goals and the specific jobs you found. Develop a career assessment

plan that does the following:

Identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities you possess which you believe would interest an

employer.

1. Identify both your short-term (3-5 years out) and long-term career goals. Give details on the

specific jobs that you might target right after graduation, within five years after graduation, and your

“ideal” job.

2. Given your career goals in light of your current knowledge, skills, and abilities, identify the

specific action steps you believe are needed to achieve both your short and long-term goals. Provide a

proposed timeline for implementing these steps.

Suggestions for organizing your Career Assessment:

Start with the research on the three jobs that outline your future goals (entry-level job after

graduation, 5-years-out job, ideal job). Include the 3 job postings in your paper

§ Analyze your gaps for achieving these goals – what is it that you will need to gain in order to get

the entry-level job? How will you do this? What will you gain during the entry-level job that will get you

the 5-years-out job? What additional skills will you have to hone (through additional education,

additional workshops, life experiences, etc.)? What do you need to have/do in order to get your ideal

job?
