Talk to people working in the fields of your interests
Their work and how they got where they are today
How do they spend their time?
What do they find most satisfying and most disagreeable?
Does the life that they describe appeal to you?

careers.

Find a mentor
A mentor listens to us and gives advice and objective
feedback with our interests at heart
A mentor shows us the rope at the time of distress
A mentor identifies our internal strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats
A mentor in your organization is more beneficial in teaching
corporate culture and valuable career moves.
Help us think through career options and goals and
develop action plans
We usually have multiple mentors
A two way street
We get advice and the mentor gets the chance to pass on wisdom
