Mapping your Career

Each month, CDSE will showcase - Career Spotlights, which will give UH Students a visual insight to why many career fields are unique to the University and State of Hawaii. E Komo Mai! We welcome and congratulate you for taking the first steps to your career choice to success.

You may be one of many college students who think of a career as a “one time decision.” But in reality, finding a career path is an ongoing process that requires time and patience.

Making good career decisions is all about the learning process. The most important aspect of choosing the right career is learning about—YOU! The more you know about yourself, the better career decisions you can make. Creating a list of your personal attributes will help you get where you want to be.

Consider the following things when deciding on a career:

• Interests
• Knowing your skills and abilities
• Looking at different majors and programs.
• Linking majors to careers

Once you are able to create a list of professional attributes, the next step is to share your research findings with a career counselor. Learn More
