Decide

Along the way of assessing and exploring you will be making decisions. The most important question to ask yourself is: "How will I decide to decide"? What will you use as your criteria by which you are evaluating your options and your experiences?

Some other questions to consider:

  • Have I fully considered and fleshed out, to the best of my ability, my interests, values and skills?
  • Have I explored careers beyond the surface?
  • Have I reflected on how my experiences fit my interests, values, skills?
  • Have I gathered enough information to feel comfortable making a decision?
  • How much information do I need to gather to make a decision?
  • Have I challenged assumptions or myths that I may hold about certain careers or the career decision making process itself?
  • What questions do I still have that will help me to make a decision? It may be helpful to talk over the decision making process with family, friends, and career counselors at UCS.
