Career Plan Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to prepare you for the next step after you have earned your
undergraduate degree. This is a multi-step project that involves planning for alternatives. Here are the
steps you will take to complete this assignment:
1. Look up the job you are interested in having in the future. Make sure you notice the salaries,
whether they differ by state. ( THE JOB I WANT IN THE FUTURE IS A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY)<\/strong>
2. If this position requires a graduate degree, look up the cost of different graduate programs to
determine what is the highest and lowest cost of this graduate degree.
3. You will then prepare or update a resume for job applications. Microsoft Word has some helpful
resume templates that you can use as a guide. You can also access courses on LinkedIn Learning
or resources from the Career and Talent Development Center on how to build a resume. Your
resume should not exceed one page. If the job you\u2019re looking for requires a graduate degree,
your resume should then reflect that (you will pretend that you have a graduate degree\u2014the
goal here is to give you the opportunity to become informed about the degree you would need
for this position).
4. Now, imagine if your ideal career ceases to exist. Perhaps the robots can do it now, you are
unable to get the degree needed to be eligible for that job, or maybe it becomes obsolete for
some other reason. You will need to create a parallel or alternate plan. To do so, you will first
identify your career-related interests, abilities, values, and goals. For example, think about the
following questions:
a. Why am I interested in pursuing (insert your top choice major here)?
b. What do I like most about my current major of interest?
c. What classes have I performed well in and what classes have I disliked or struggled with
the most?
d. What specific careers interest me and why?
e. What types of work environments do I prefer?
f. What companies would I love to work for and what is my dream job?
g. Explore different Majors within your Academic Unit, College, School, etc.
h. Look up job opportunities that can be done with the same degree you\u2019re earning now.
Take note of the fact that the alternate job you\u2019re interested in requires a different
degree and consider if you\u2019d be willing to go back to school for another degree.
i. Pay attention to the job salaries for these alternate jobs\/careers.
5. Create your parallel plan. When developing a parallel plan, there are several things you should
be sure to find out:
\uf0b7 Are there any common courses between my current major of interest and my
alternative major choice?
\uf0b7 What courses differ between these majors?
\uf0b7 Are there any application requirements or admission standards that I should know
about?
\uf0b7 Does this alternative major require a minor? Can I minor in something similar to my
current major of interest or top choice major?6. Once you have completed the above steps, you will prepare document you will be submitting.
The document must have the following four sections:
a. Current job Salary Discussion: Discuss your findings when you searched for the job you
currently are planning on pursuing. Make sure you include what the salaries are and if
they differ by city, state or region.
b. Graduate School or Marketability: Discuss the cost and the time it will take to complete
a graduate degree if this career\/job requires it. Include whether you willing to take the
economic risk of going to graduate school? What strategies during graduate school
might prepare you for a job search?
If it does not require a graduate degree, discuss in this section how can you improve
your marketability while you\u2019re earning your bachelor\u2019s degree? For example,
internships, volunteering, etc. How can you obtain these opportunities while at FIU?
c. A one-page resume ready for applying to the job you are interested in pursuing
currently.
d. Discuss your parallel plan with the alternate job(s) you might pursue instead.
Specifically, identify and mention what that job\/career would be and discuss why you
chose it. You must answer the questions included in step 5 above, and feel free to
include other questions you considered in the steps above while developing your
parallel plan. Make sure you include what the salaries are and if they differ by city, state
or region. Discuss whether you would be willing to go back to school to get the degree
or courses required for the alternate job (or if you can complete these requirements
currently while earning your current degree). Finally, discuss how job application and
resume writing might be different (if at all) with this alternate job versus the current job
you are planning on pursuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
