10 steps of a job hunting process

Step 1: Assessing your needs

Firstly, you must get to know what you have and what you need.

When you were a kid, people would ask you: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” What was your answer at that moment? The response usually fell in five categories: teacher, doctor, lawyer, policeman, and the president of the country. People usually stop giving that question to children over ten years old. But for many people, the exact answer cannot be identified until university or college graduation. What about you? Can you answer the question about your ideal job?

You should spend time doing research on not only job opportunities but also yourself. Consider these factors: your personality, interests, values, personal skills and abilities.

These assessments will give you some potential career paths. Then, after you get the results of career exploration, you may find the right path to follow.
