If feeling overwhelmed or stressed out is making it difficult for you to think clearly, talk with a staff member in a One-Stop center, school, college, institution, agency, or organization that provides career resources and services to individuals. Many information resources include instructions for making best use of the information. You may avoid wasting time by briefly reviewing these instructions before you use the resource. Making choices involves learning. People learn best when they use smaller amounts of information over time, rather than trying to learn everything at once.
Some people also learn best when they talk about what they have learned with a person they trust.
If you are not in a crisis where a decision needs to be made quickly, take your time to think and learn carefully. Use information, think about what you have learned, talk it over with a person you trust, decide on other things you need to learn, use more information, and so forth. Know when you need to get help in using career information.
