Tips to Choosing Your First Career
Connect with the Best People, Assemble Your Personal Network, and Navigate Successfully to Your Dream Career
As an additional (and free) resource for our readers, we’ve created a Navigation Team Action Guide. This guide works with the book Test Drive Your Future to help a high school or college student identify a group of people who will support their dream career.
Our experience has found that it is invaluable to have a “navigation team” on your career journey—a few key people to turn to for support, practical advice, honest feedback, and sometimes even a little cheerleading along the way. Your navigation team should be made up of people with a variety of qualities: people you admire, people whose advice you trust, people who will listen to your ideas, people who are successful, and people who will help you whenever you are stuck or in an emergency.
Your team might be made up of parents, friends, teachers/professors, mentors, counselors, coaches, or professionals in your future career field. Sometimes these people simply emerge at the right time, and sometimes you need to seek them out to help ensure your success in accomplishing your dreams.
Connect with the Best People, Assemble Your Personal Network, and Navigate Successfully to Your Dream Career!
