Before you even apply for a job it is best to research difference careers and analyse which careers would really suit you. There are many websites available for you to do this.

The first part of this assessment involves using the Prospects Planner. The Prospects Planner is a careers guidance tool that can help you identify possible careers based on your skills, interests and motivations. Create your own Prospects Planner profile using the link below and use the tool for yourself. Prospects Planner will then produce a report of your results, have a look at the matching job types section and pick three from different job categories.

Now you have three matched careers it is time to research them in more depth. Using CareerPlayer, Careersbox and icould, investigate some of the key aspects of these jobs and reflect on what you have learnt using the Reflective Log below.
