Taking Action

Based on the self-assessment you have completed, the research you have conducted and experiences you have had, experience your first choice. For example......

• Take the job
• Accept the internship
• Commit to the volunteer position
• Attend graduate school
• Pursue study abroad

This career process is ongoing and you will want to evaluate your experience throughout your work life. You may find yourself repeating the career planning cycle often.

The average working adult in the United States makes at least seven career changes during his or her work life. The average length of time any one person stays at any job is approximately 3.5 years. The average college or university student makes a change in major/focus of study three times before graduating.
