One way of ensuring your career expectations are realistic is to actually search for positions that
are available right now and analyze what the employers in that field are looking for in terms of
competencies – personal, experience, and academic. By looking at the ‘real’ requirements –
which can shift as economic circumstances change – you will get a more accurate view of your
career opportunities, and be able to develop effective strategies to position yourself for career
success.
