Career Crime: Silver Platter
You’re guilty if
- You believe that your school, employer, or someone else is going to give you everything you need to manage your career on a silver platter
Sentence
- A rude awakening when you find out that whoever you were relying upon doesn’t have all the answers you need
- You find yourself unprepared and struggling to find answers
Avoid it By
- Taking complete ownership for your education, career, and life
- Crafting goals and a plan that you developed yourself
Challenges
- It’s easy to wish someone else has all the answers you need
- It’s complex to sort through all of your options and decide what you should do
- College students are at the most risk for this, since many expect their classes to adequately prepare them for their careers
Use Career Foresight to
- Fill your Toolbox with information you find about your education, career, and life opportunities
- Set Goals to pursue opportunities you learn about, and to constantly prepare
