Don’t wait, act now. It will be Christmas before you know it.
The university college application deadlines follow quickly after that.
And then you’re into exams mode …

Open Day season is now running so;

• Start with what you think interests you most (asking how it relates to your strengths/talents), what you’d like to be good at and/or skills you’d like to develop – if you’re not sure what you’d prefer just ask your family, friends, take interest/aptitude tests, talk to your Guidance Counsellor
• Decide if you’d prefer a definite/career-focused/applied   or  a broad/open-ended/academic course
• Find out where you can do it using Qualifax, Eunicas & CareersPortal
• Check out their Virtual Open Day or specific Career Fair – you can get a list of these on the Qualifax Events Calendar
• Organise your own visit for your top few choices if your school isn’t doing one – it’s up to you to find a way to get informed
• Review the full course details online and jot down anything you’re unsure about – you will want these queries to be answered
• Share your insights & experiences with your family & friends – this is the bit that helps you clarify your feelings about these choices before you make a final commitment

To help you do this there are many course & career websites – save time by being very specific when researching on  unibrowse, qualifax, eunicas, & careersportal, onetonline, etc

Do yourself a favour, get stuck into the task now.  Get informed & set yourself a definite goal.  It’s time to get ready.

You’ll feel better, more purposeful and in control of your own destiny
