The Get Real Guide to Your Career - Executive Version

The Get Real Guide has 5 modules, each comprising activities and resources that will help you get closer to defining – and achieving –what you want to do next.

Here's a summary of what you'll work on in each module:

1-Taking Inventory
  
   "The beginning is the most important part of the work." – Plato

The Inventory module is designed to help you assess where you are and how you got there. It builds the foundation for the work you will do in the modules that follow. You will have the opportunity to not only identify the skills that you have developed in your various experiences, but also determine which of those skills you want to use going forward. You will also ascertain your values, natural talents, accomplishments, and any barriers that have kept you from achieving your full potential.
End product: A Career Profile that summarizes who you are.

2-Creating You

Now that you've completed your inventories and have summarized "who you are" you'll begin to focus that information toward what you want to do next. In this module you'll define your personal vision and professional objective and develop the tools that will help you communicate them in pursuit of new opportunities.
