Decide what type of work you would like to do. If you have a good understandingof your interests, skills and talents, you are in a strong position to find a job that isa good fit for you. Why is this important?
Knowing your interests, skills and talents helps you develop a resume that is appropriate for your skillset and is most likely to be noticed by employers. This isalso a way to help you express your qualifications confidently during a job interview.Research shows that people who enjoy their jobs are often happier in general, are more productive at work and stand the best chance of getting promoted than thosewho do not enjoy their jobs.Tips:
1. Start with your interests. Make a list of things you like to do (eg: hobbies, skills, interests. Refer to this list while
developing your resume.
2. List all the experiences you would like to try, the places you would like to go and the goals you would like to
accomplish in the future. Do not exclude items because they seem impossible or because you do not yet have the
skills or means to achieve a goal. Dream BIG!
