Focus

This section covers the Focus stage.

Once you have done your research, you’ll need to start making informed and realistic decisions to narrow down your options. This may involve exploring several options, so you will need to be flexible and adaptable in your approach. Gaining relevant work experience, attending employer events and careers fairs to talk to specific employers will help you in this process. The groundwork of self- awareness will be critical in keeping you motivated and helping you to set your goals.
