My Goal Sheet

Many individuals may not know how to develop a career goal; follow the steps below to help you determine where to start. There are a few steps that can be helpful in determining your career goal, which include conducting a self-assessment, exploring industries and careers, and determining factors that are non-negotiable (e.g., geographic location, salary requirements, health care benefits, etc.). The final step of goal setting is writing the first draft of your goal. 

Step 1: Self-Assessment

  What energizes you?

  If you knew you could not fail, what would you do?

  What high school subjects did you do well in? 

  What issues do family and friends come to you for help?

  What do you receive praise for at work or home?

  What are some of your greatest accomplishments?

  What is something you do where you lose track of time when you are doing it?
