If you were planning a trip, chances are you would do some research in advance. You would want to find out about transportation costs, where to stay, what to see, and what to expect. You would probably read some travel guides, go online, and talk to people who had been to your destination.
Career planning is very similar.
There is much to learn about careers by reading in the CDO resource library and researching on the Internet, especially on CareerLinks . One of the best ways to learn about careers is to talk to people about what they do. As you network you may discover a mentor, an established professional with whom you might have a more ongoing relationship after graduation. Start today to get in the habit of talking to people about what they do. You'll find that most people love to talk about themselves and give advice.
