WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?
 

If you don't have the answer to this question, that's okay!

In order to determine what career is the best fit for you, it is important to spend time self-evaluating your skills, values, strengths, weaknesses, and interests.

Self-evaluation will help to cross-out careers that are not complimentary of your strengths, personality, and life goals, while helps direct you toward job opportunities that fit in with what you want out of life. These evaluations will help you consider work/life balance, flexibility, a "9-to-5" desk job versus a job where you are required to be on your feet.

Here are some resources to get you started!
