The process of deciding a career path. Job seekers should ask themselves:

• In which industry would I like to work?
• What is my ideal salary?
• Do I need more education in order to meet my goals?
• How to organize study, work, and develop the career on the job.

This is the most critical part of any career, from basic entry qualifications to advanced degrees. It includes consideration of jobs, qualifications and levels of experience as career assets. Career planning involves time management, decision-making, and sometimes tough career choices and job options.
