The first step in developing career goals is to assess your own personal characteristics--your skills and interests, your likes and dislikes, and your strengths and weaknesses. You may then match your "profile" to a specific job, or career goal. You may want to identify aspects of your present and past jobs that will help you determine your career goals such as

• Traits or skills that are required.
• Aspects of the previous jobs you liked and disliked.
• Skills you have developed through education, jobs, hobbies, volunteer work, clubs, employee organizations.
• Training you've had that can be applied to future jobs.
• Specific areas of your performance appraisals that have been rated above or below satisfactory.
• Your willingness to relocate or work other than a normal work shift.
• Personal time and effort you are willing to commit to preparing for career advancement.
