When making your career plan, you should get to know yourself first. Find out your strengths and weaknesses, as well as your interests. Try to match your interests to your talents before making a career choice.

I know a young man named John who loved basketball. Unfortunately, he wasn’t very good at playing it, but he did well in writing. So he found a job writing about basketball
for a local newspaper instead. It’s the perfect fit for him, because it’s what he’s interested in and good at.
The next step is to find out about the jobs in your fields of interest.
By looking at job ads, you can know about what jobs are available. If there is a particular job you are interested in, try to find out as much as you can about it, to see what skills you need to develop and what level of education is required.
Once you have this information, why not take action immediately For example, if you want to manage a business, it’s definitely a good idea to take some business courses. You should also try to seek advice from people who have already worked in this field.
If you follow these steps, you will be able to find a career that’s right for you.
B. After listening to Miss Wang’s talk, Connie wrote a career plan. Read the plan below and pay attention to how she planned her career.
Planning my career in fashion design
At the school Art Festival, I was asked to design the costumes for three school plays, which many of my classmates and teachers thought were nice and novel. Everyone was amazed to see the actors wear my costumes onstage.
This experience has made me realize that I am really good at drawing and have great talent for fashion design, and has inspired me to pursue fashion design as my career. That way, I can combine work with my interests and strengths.
To find out how to get into the field of fashion design, I did some research about what kind of education and skills I might need. I found out that many premier fashion designers studied at art institutes in London, Paris or Milan.
get into sth. 開始從事某職業;參與,開始(某事);對…產生興趣;開始熟悉;學會
prem·ier / premi (r)/首要的;最著名的;最成功的;第一的
Milan/m l n/米蘭
I also looked up job ads for the fashion industry to see what abilities or qualities designers should have. For example, they must have a good sense of colour and proportion, be familiar with various fabrics such as cotton, wool and man-made fibres, be able to recognize styles and trends, and be creative.
After much thought, I decided to develop these skills and get the right qualifications by studying art at university.

While I am there, I would like to work part-time for a fashion design company in order to learn from professional designers
—more is better when it comes to work experience. I am also thinking about trying my hand at CAD, which is becoming more and more popular in the fashion industry. Actually, I do not have to wait until I go to university to swing into action as there will be a workshop in my city next month, which I am hoping to attend. try your hand at sth. (通常指初次) 嘗試
CAD /k d/計算機輔助設計,電腦輔助設計(computer-aided design)
swing into action立即行動起來；馬上大干起來
spring into action/spring into/to life突然工作(或行動)起來
After graduation, I will seek a job as a fashion designer. One day, I hope to start my own clothing company. Clothes with designer labels in shops are generally thought to be too expensive. I want to design fashionable clothes that ordinary people can afford. Hopefully, all of my planning and preparation will lead to a great career in fashion design.

A: Interesting! Can you give me an example of the kind of career you would like and tell me why it would be a good fit for you
B: Of course! When I was little, I decided that I wanted to be a vet, and that’s still my goal. It’s a good fit because I’m comfortable playing with and caring for animals.

B: Exactly! For now, I’m going to ask my parents if I can get a cat. This will teach me responsibility and basic animal care.

My career plan
From a very young age, I have loved animals. I would ask my parents to take me to nature parks and zoos. I wanted to be one of the staff playing with and caring for the animals! I decided that I wanted to be a vet one day and that is my goal still.
To make my childhood dream come true, I found out that I should pursue a degree in veterinary science at university. After four to five years of successful study, I would be awarded a bachelor’s degree in veterinary science.
However, entry into university can be highly competitive. I will need to prepare myself in high school and work hard to produce an outstanding academic performance.
Other than following the right course of study, I can do volunteer work at a vet clinic in my spare time. Working at the clinic will give me time to observe qualified vets at work and find out the answers to the many questions I will be faced with.
com·peti·tive /k m pet t v/ 競爭的
other than除…以外;不同；不同于；不
The clinic will also provide me with many practical skills, which I could use to get through my theoretical studies and pass all my courses successfully.
For now, I am going to ask my parents if I can keep a cat. Having a pet of my own will teach me responsibility and basic animal care. In the future, when working as a vet, I will probably take care of animals of different species. It will be challenging but rewarding at the same time.
