- Research occupations that are directly related to or commonly associated with your majors. This can be done through online resources, career advisors, or industry-specific publications.
- Make a list of occupations that are aligned with your majors, as they are more likely to have relevant skills and knowledge required for those fields.
2.3 To determine which identified occupations address your values and to assess your most suited occupation, you can:
- Reflect on your personal values, passions, and long-term goals.
- Consider how each identified occupation aligns with your values. For example, if you value creativity and innovation, you may prefer occupations that allow you to express these qualities.
