Talk with a variety of people in career fields you find interesting. Most people like to talk about their jobs and their industry. Even if you decide that a job or field is not right for you, valuable information will be learned. You may do an informal interview with:
Observe and "job shadow" professionals in their workplace to get a sense of their day-to-day responsibilities, challenges, and work environment. Ask about our informational interview contacts.
Experience work first hand through work study, internships, or volunteer and service learning opportunities. Seek Internships through our NPC CareerLink page and also visit our Internships page.
