II. Identify Information about Options

Gather Information- What organizations would be able to make use of your talents? Have you requested that information be sent to you from those organizations I which you think you might be interested? Have you investigated enough to be able to explain why you would prefer to work for one organization versus the other? In addition to the traditional occupational roles for someone with your type of training, what else might someone with your skills do for work?

Identifying Prospects- Which of the organizations you have researched and documented seem to provide opportunities that are in line with your preferences, and look to offer the types of challenges and rewards to seek?

Information Interviewing- Have you arranged for appointments to meet with people who do work that you believe you might like? Have you thoughtfully asked questions to help you learn critical and subtle differences about the way work objectives are met within the field you are exploring?
