INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the ZaMirNET's career guide!
Working through this booklet, we'll help you find your ideal job. The
ideal job is the one that, ideally, corresponds with your wishes and
abilities - (of course, we'll also try to take into consideration much
wider aspects of the job searching; unemployment office plus market
itself which offers less opportunities and possibilities then we
expect.)
Together, step by step, we'll discover what unique skills you have to
offer.
To do this you must answer the following questions:
1. who are you?
2. what can you do?
3. what do you want?

Personal career plan
Until now, you already have an image of what do you want to achieve in
next five or even next ten years. Career plan is the path to do so.
Together with your advisor you'll decide which steps need to be made to
accomplish your goal.

appropriate job. Then that's the first step on the way to complete your

want to go.
