Taking steps to build your career during your graduate studies can help you prepare for what will come next for you. By actively working to build your skills in this focus area throughout your studies, you will ensure you are well positioned to achieve your future academic and professional goals.
Career builders get to know themselves through self-reflection to help inform their career planning. They engage in exploration to discover possibilities. They seek to experience more to further develop their skills. They work to activate their career plan by implementing effective job search strategies and expanding their professional network.
