SummaryTable of Contents
Created for undergraduate courses in Career Planning and Decision-Making. Helping students take charge of their professional future, this action-oriented handbook covers what every college student needs to know about making career choices, searching for suitable internships and jobs, and succeeding in the workplace of the 21st century. Putting numerous activities for self-assessment and research at the heart of the text, it builds upon a sound theoretical framework that focuses on three major areas corresponding to three essential tasks-1) searching for information (exploration); 2) setting your career direction (specification) and; 3) making your work experience count (implementation).
