David’s Answer

I think I read somewhere that a typical person goes through multiple career changes throughout their lifetime.
I would not think of "starting my career" as something that will determine the rest of your life.
Sure, some jobs or professions seem monolithic -- lawyers, doctors, pilots, etc.
And some do start and end with the same "title". However, think about the winding paths that some of those people take.

Taking lawyers as an example: Some finish law school, start as clerks for judges, work at district attorneys, switch to private firms, go into teaching, and retire as pro bono philanthropist. All of this is leveraging their legal skills, but I wouldn't say this is "one career".

Think of a career as a journey. Do what you're interested in. Sometimes you take jobs because you have bills, but always be on the lookout for that opportunity that interests you and you can start developing skills and networks in the areas for which you have acumen, and when you look back, you'll have your own unique "career" path trail.

Hope this helps!

Simeon’s Answer

Aside from getting the necessary education, look at getting job skills and job certificates on your own to increase your marketability. Go to socializing events or competitions related to your industry and get to know people. Work on your Linkedin and keep an eye out for internships related to the field you're interested in.

Akshita’s Answer

Hi Pankaj, I would like to say, you should give priority to what area interests you the most. Majority of your life goes in work you do and the career you are in, and thus it's extremely important to like what you would be doing for most of your life :)
Having said that, you can start by making a list of areas you are interested in and then researching on how you can reach that career path.

Carmen’s Answer

Hi Pankaj! To echo Marshal, let's begin with what it is you would like to do? What are your interests, your educational background, any groups you belong to that resonate with you and your career aspirations. Have you been particularly interested in a certain industry?

Harvey’s Answer

Hi Pankaj!
Starting a career can be a daunting task. First you have to find what you would like to do in your life. Have you already found your passions and interests? That is a wonderful question to ask and a great starting point in finding a career.

If you have not found your passions or interests yet, I highly recommend joining some groups at your school in order to figure out what you like to do. If you’ve already found our passion, then you can definitely use Linkedin as a wonderful resource. There are plenty of opportunities and internships that you can take advantage of to gain more experience and even kickstart your career.
