Exercise #5 – Your Career Exploration Strategy and Timeline
Directions: Consider the information you gathered during Exercise #2 – Job Information Exploration. As you know, a
job can change over time; in fact, you’ll probably have many jobs in your life time! But, each job helps lead you

about the timeline and strategy towards your career. Fill in the blanks provided below as well as possible. Refer back
to Exercise #2 – Job Information Exploration and the resource provided in that worksheet. Remember, although
developing a life plan is important, you may change your mind at any time.
