Increasing Your Employment Prospects: an action plan

Increase your self awareness

• Start Career Planning Now!
• Make an early, focussed effort to explore careers.
• List your strengths and weaknesses. Continually update that list.
• Actively seek feedback from colleagues, staff, close friends, and family. Get outside your comfort zone.
• Notice which experiences really motivate you. Write them down.
• Make an effort to establish your underlying values and beliefs. You will not be comfortable if you do things which work against these values.
