Unit 4: Laying the Groundwork for Your Career
Once you are settled on which career you'd like, it's time
to start setting yourself up for a successful transition. Don't delay!
The earlier you begin, the better the chance that you'll have more
options; the more options you have, the better chance that you'll make
the best
decision. Depending on the field, the
groundwork for your career could involve networking, building up
concrete work
experience, or applying for advanced degrees.
It also involves building up a personal reputation as a reliable person
with
integrity and professionalism.
