Career development (Student)
During a commencement speech at Stanford University in 2006, Steve Jobs told the graduating class to “find what you love, and love what you do” and that “it is a continual discovery process”. It is the same for career planning. Your job search process begins with knowing your interests, passion, strengths and even your weaknesses. The earlier you know more about yourself, the easier it is to begin this process.
