STEP 3: Researching your potential occupations
Once you have finished identifying the occupations that you would like to consider, you can begin to explore them by reading the occupation descriptions. Use the Job Search section of Job Guide to look for the jobs that interest you.
By looking carefully at these entries you may decide that some occupations on your list are not for you. However, if you have very few or no options after reading through the relevant descriptions, consider the following:
- Perhaps you were a bit too ‘hard’ on certain aspects of some occupations. You might like to take another look at the occupation descriptions.
- Make sure to check out the ‘Related Jobs’ at the end of each occupation description, as you might find an occupation that better suits your interests.
- Perhaps it is not really your type of work or interest area after all. You may need to return to the Type of Work Chart.
If looking at these entries has made you even more interested in the occupations (or some of the occupations) on your list, you are ready to do some more in-depth research.
