Use your creativity

This chapter, Develop Your Skills feature describes how to build a career development plan. It is never too soon to identify your short- and long-term career goals and analyze what skills, experiences, and other things you need to do to obtain your goals. Your assignment is to build your own career development plan that focuses on one- and five-year time horizons. Your action plan should include realistic activities that you can undertake to enhance your ability to meet the career goals you identified. Focus the career goals on HIGHER EDUCATION (student affairs).
