Career phases
The label on your profile represents your answer to the career phase questions in your myDeakinTALENT profile. These questions provide you an opportunity to reflect on, identify and set your career intentions. You may be prompted to revisit these throughout your course, which will help us to identify appropriate support to help you reach your career goals.
Taking time to reflect on your skills, values and interests can be a game-changer when planning your career. By understanding who you are, you'll be empowered to make more informed choices about your professional journey.
After taking the time to understand yourself better, it’s time to start exploring the exciting options that align with your skills, interests and values. You can begin researching different occupations, industries, the job market and development opportunities. This will help you make informed decisions throughout your career development journey and find the best path forward.
Now that you better understand yourself and have explored your options, it’s time to start setting or resetting career goals! We recommend creating an action plan to help you gain the experience and skills necessary to stand out from the crowd.
It’s time to take charge and make things happen. Prepare to showcase your skills and abilities by perfecting your resume, submitting job applications and mastering your interviewing techniques.
You’re already well on your way! But don’t forget, your career development journey is far from over. Expand your network through social media and professional associations. Keep forging ahead and connecting with employers and industries that inspire you.
