Choosing a career
Having previously defined one's professional outlook is essential to appearing credible and relevant in the eyes of a recruiter: It will make the difference!
This is something to consider from the earliest stages of your job search, with a view to better defining your strategic plan.
A career plan must be:
- Motivating (corresponds with your interests and ambitions)
- Realistic (in line with your skills profile)
- Attainable (in line with company needs)
A career plan helps you to define your target market:
- Which profession? In which sector and market? For which type of company?
- Which type of management style?
Suggested steps:
- Work on your skills, qualities and aspirations.
- Conduct documentary research on the professions that are of interest to you.
- Have professionals review your plan.
The Companies and Entrepreneurship department [Direction Entreprises et Entrepreneuriat] provides tailored tools to assist you in building your career. These include:
The skills portfolio
This is an assessment tool used throughout your time at Audencia. You can use the portfolio to record your personality traits, what motivates you, and what you have gleaned from each stage of your curriculum.
