A Running Start
Your Career Development Guide
SASS-Careers created this guide as a quick, easy-to-navigate resource. Although this guide targets University of Ottawa students, it can serve as a useful tool for others.
A Running Start is divided into the following sections:
- Knowing Yourself
- Considering your Options
- Making a Decision
- Building your Action Plan
- Planning your Job Search
- Thriving in your Career
How to use this guide?
Since career development is not a linear process, this guide is designed to allow you to explore the sections, in any order, according to your current needs.
