Option #2: Supporting Others in Creating a Career Plan

You should have reviewed the resources at the Career Center in Module 3. If you decided that you’re happy with where you are in your career after reviewing these resources, you can choose to complete a Portfolio Project in which you offer guidance to a colleague/family member for creating his or her own career plan.

For this option, you will write an 8-10 page paper. In this paper you will:

  1. Describe the resources available in the Career Center.
  2. Identify the person who you are supporting as he/she creates a career plan.
  3. Have the person complete at least two of the resources on the Career Center >Finding a Job section of the Student Portal. 
  4. Next, have the person complete two more of the tools in the Finding a job >Personal Career Evaluation section of the Student Portal. There are numerous external websites that you will be able to use.
  5. Include the results of these tools at the end of your reflection.
  6. Have the person reflect on his/her professional career assessing where he/she is and where he/she would like to be. You may have the person complete some of the assessments you completed throughout the course to assist in this exercise.
  7. Using this reflection, have him/her identify three strengths that he/she brings to an organization as a leader.
  8. Align his/her strengths with two of the following areas:
