Making Study and Career Decisions
How?
- Sifting a number of career options to decide which sectors, and roles seem most attractive to you;
- choosing between options for study;
- making a final choice between two or more options, or the option to take a job or continue with study.
Often you will need to decide, without all the information that you would like or need.
- Noting the time frames and use your time wisely so that you are not pressured into a last-minute decision; and
- planning ahead, and act quickly where you can. For example, reduce the information gap by using your research skills, talking with people and asking for the information you need; and
- Booking a consultation session if you are struggling to make progress on your own.
