You have to take the initiative to explore it yourself. See if your college's career office has a library of books describing different kinds of work, the typical qualifications needed and the salary ranges for various occupations. Your college's career counselors should be able to help. Also, talk to people through informational interviews, and try out careers by shadowing and taking internships or part-time jobs. The more career planning that you can do as a student, the better prepared you will be when you start to look for your first job. More Active reading 1: Resources

84. Choosing your career Step 3: Sort out your priorities for a career After you’ve spent time on steps one and two, some of your strong preferences may start to emerge. You might learn you don't want to be in an office environment. Or you might find that your interest in art wouldn’t sustain a career, so you cross those types of jobs off your list. Whatever it is that you learn about yourself, you're making important discoveries that will help you choose a good career when the time comes. This is a major component of career planning for students. More Active reading 1: Resources

85. Choosing a career Most importantly, keep it all in perspective: You don't have to live forever with any career decision you make in these phases of student career planning. Most people change careers several times during their lives, so the first job you choose right after college probably won’t be your career 15 or 20 years from now -- unless you want it to be. So don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make the perfect decision, and always keep your eyes open, and use all available resources in your journey to find how to choose a career.

86. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked More Tapping a variety of sources for advice during your job search often is a smart move.

87. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked More Active reading 1: Resources Myth 1: You should keep your resume to one page; any longer, and hiring mangers won't read it. Few employers are so rigid that they’ll toss out your resume because it's more than a page long. What's more important is that the document is interesting to read, tailored specifically to the position you are applying for -- and perhaps most important -- error free. In fact, 84 percent of executives polled by Robert Half International said it takes just one or two typographical errors on a resume to remove a candidate from consideration for a job opening. While a one-page resume is preferable for entry-level candidates, those with five or more years of experience may require an additional page to describe their work history and accomplishments.

88. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked More Myth 2: It’s pointless to request an interview with a company that isn’t hiring. Even if a company isn’t planning to add staff anytime soon, chances are you can land an informational interview. Look to set up a meeting with someone -- preferably a hiring manager -- who can tell you more about the organization and provide answers to questions you can’t find online or in the company’s marketing materials, such as its short- and long-term business goals. Many employers will be willing to sit down with you if you show genuine interest. An informational interview probably won’t result in a job offer, but you will build your professional network and, in the process, may learn of future opportunities with the firm.

89. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked More Active reading 1: Resources Myth 3: If you’ve applied for a position and haven’t heard back, it's safe to assume the position has been filled. Just because a company hasn’t contacted you doesn’t mean they aren't interested. It’s not uncommon for hiring managers to be so busy they delay contacting candidates for as long as two months after posting an employment ad. Don’t let this discourage you; instead take action to see where you stand. An overwhelming 94 percent of executives surveyed by Robert Half International said candidates should contact hiring managers after submitting application materials; 82 percent of respondents recommend doing it -- whether by e-mail, a phone call or personalized letter -- within two weeks of submitting a resume.

90. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked Myth 4: The most-qualified candidates always get the job. While employers want to hire professionals capable of doing the job -- and carefully compare candidates’ education, skills and experience against the requirements of the position -- they also depend on intuition when making a decision. The traits that make an employer intuitively want to hire someone often involve soft skills -- that is, your ability to get along with the rest of the team. So, if you’re interested in a position for which you meet only the minimum requirements, don’t immediately dismiss it. Your personality may put you on par with someone with more experience than you.

91. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked Myth 5: There’s no room for salary negotiation in today’s job market. Demand for skilled professionals continues to outpace supply in a number of specialties, and candidates with industry experience and expertise often receive multiple offers. Researching how much those with similar qualifications in your area are being paid will help you choose the best opportunity and negotiate a reasonable rate. More Active reading 1: Resources

92. 6 Job Hunting Myths Debunked Myth 6: When times are tough, take the first job offer you get. An extended job search can put pressure on you to accept any offer that comes your way, but do your best to avoid accepting a position that may cause more heartache than happiness. Tolerating a job you hate -- whether for a week or year -- can set you back professionally and take a toll on your well-being. You may have to accept a “less-than-perfect” role in certain situations, but don’t feel guilty holding out for a position with maximum appeal if you have the financial means to do so.
