Career Management Model

If you’re looking for a new job, your first instinct might be to update your
résumé. Unfortunately, this approach doesn’t always produce the best
results.

A better strategy is to start with a clear look at where you’ve been, where you’d like to go,
and what it will take to get there. Our Career Management Model was developed to help you
through that process, giving you a better understanding of both yourself and the job market.

The Career Management Model consists of five steps:

Assessment: Clarify and understand your interests, skills, values, and personality.

Research: Explore career or job opportunities that interest you.

Make decisions and set goals: Evaluate the pros and cons of feasible options and create
goals and timelines.

Take action: Write or update your résumé, interview, evaluate or accept a job offer, or
begin work or study toward a long-term career goal.
