Title: Career Planner

STEP 1: Identify what you can do with your degree

If you haven’t already, use at least one of the career exploration tools to identify some occupations of interest. Try to identify at least three – as it’s important to have options and not pin all of your hopes and dreams on one particular career!

Q: Occupation 1:

Q: Occupation 2:

Q: Occupation 3:

Q: Occupation 4:

Q: Occupation 5:

STEP 2: Research your options

In Step 1, you selected up to 5 occupation options. For each, record at least one thing you learnt through your (online) research.

Q: Research on occupation 1:

Q: Research on occupation 2:

Q: Research on occupation 3:

Q: Research on occupation 4:

Q: Research on occupation 5:

STEP 3: Make some decisions

In Step 1 your recorded a list of up to 5 occupation options. Reflect on what you read and wrote above, and then rank these occupations in your priority list, from top priority (“Priority occupation”) to lowest priority (“Alternative occupation 4”).

My priority list

Q: My top priority occupation:

Q: My first alternative occupation:

Q: My second alternative occupation:

Q: My third alternative occupation:

Q: My fourth priority occupation:

STEP 4: Set career goals

Think about the 'priority occupation’ and ‘alternative occupation 1’ from Step 3. Try to write a few SMART goals for each. If the occupations are similar, it’s OK to repeat some of the same goals.

My priority occupation - SMART goals:

Q: My priority occupation is:

Q: Goal 1

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...

Q: Goal 2

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...

Q: Goal 3

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...

My alternative occupation - SMART goals:

Q: My alternative occupation is:

Q: Goal 1

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...

Q: Goal 2

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...

Q: Goal 3

e.g. By the end of this semester / next semester /  my degree ...
