Make career decisions by comparing your interests, strengths, skills, practical constraints and the work involved in a role. You do not need to settle on a lifelong plan before taking a useful next step.
A practical way to plan your next move
- List the tasks and subjects that interest you and the skills you already use well.
- Research roles that use those skills and compare their actual responsibilities and entry requirements.
- Identify one realistic skills gap and choose a project, course or supervised experience to address it.
- Review suitable vacancies and refine your plan using the requirements employers actually list.
