Matching

The combination of your natural talents + those you are able to develop + your qualifications gained at University—any options which you find morally unacceptable + those where you really want to make a contribution + your experience + vacancies is the job for you.

It may be 'obvious' to you what you want to do, or you may have a number of areas eg 'marketing' upon which you have decided to concentrate. However, if it is not obvious where you are going, then you will need to plan. Planning may make you realise that your dreams are just that or that you are actually capable of much more than you thought. Either way, a good place to start might be the planning section of www.prospects.ac.uk/ entitled "what job would suit me"

Planning for a career does not mean knowing exactly what you want to do, but it does mean thinking about what you are good at and considering seriously in which directions this might push you. If you look at the sections of Matching and Techniques you will discover some ideas for ideas for identifying your skills and matching them to careers.
