Step 3: Now, that we have learned about ourself and explored careers and majors, it is time to start action planning.
Career action planning is the process of setting goals, clarifying the actions needed to complete these goals, and making decisions that work towards these goals (i.e., student education planning, resume building, informational interviewing, job search, etc.)
*Pro Tip* Schedule a counseling appointment to get support in the planning process, don’t feel like you must do this by yourself. We are here to support you.
