Your Guide to College Success: Chapter 12

Chapter 12 is called explore careers. It is about exploring careers. It first says to evaluate yourself. Then you have to find out what you value most which will help you narrow your choices. Afterward, you figure out what your skills are in,and then lastly you figure out your personality. Next, it talks about how to gain experience, through things like internships, co-ops, part time jobs, summer jobs, and community service. It goes over having multiple careers, and networking. It talks about how to move up your career, and life. Finally it talks about resumes, cover letters, and interviews. Recently, in EDCO, I had just learned about this stuff and wrote my own resume and had our own interview practice. I thought that if i had known that this book had stuff about it and i had saw it earlier, it would have helped me more. Since I had already known about most of the things, it was not all that helpful. Although some of the stuff in this chapter about resumes could help improve my current resume because when I first wrote it, I did not know exactly what to write about.
