How to use the Job Guide
How to use the Job Guide
STEP 1 — Start by getting to know yourself!
- think about what subjects you enjoy at school
- go to the Building your career section
- fill in the Type of Work Chart, then
-
go to the Jobs Chart to see which occupations:
- match your results
- match your desired skill level/s.
STEP 2 — Use the Bullseye Charts to explore career pathways
The ‘School subjects you like and jobs they can lead to’ booklet contains Bullseye Charts for more than 30 school subject areas. Each chart links a subject you’re interested in with a range of possible jobs and shows the education and training needed to do them. The booklet
also includes hints on how to use the charts and a list of useful websites. It can be downloaded at www.deewr.gov.au/bullseye .
Choose a subject you like, think about things you like about that subject and find a job that interests you. The levels on the Bullseyes show you what training and education you need for the job. Write down some jobs you think may suit you.
STEP 3 — Explore the Job descriptions
- Now you have your list of possible occupations, go to the Job descriptions section
- Look at the individual descriptions of the occupations on your list
- Make sure to check out the 'Related Jobs' at the end of each occupation description
- Return to the Jobs Chart and add or cross out occupations you do or don't want to explore further.
STEP 4 — Talk to your career adviser!
There’s heaps of information to help guide you down your career pathway in the front sections of Job Guide but if you still need help, see your career adviser.
