When we ask people about the most meaningful parts of their life, family, health and work often rank as the top three. Choosing the type of work you'll do, therefore, is arguably one of the most important decisions you can make.

You can begin choosing a career by taking the following steps:

1. Perform a self-assessment.

2. Identify your must-haves.

3. Make a list of jobs to explore.

4. Research jobs and employers.

5. Get training (if you need it) and update your resume.

6. Find and apply for jobs.

7. Continue growing and learning.

Selecting a career path can take weeks, months or even years as you continue learning what you want and need in a job. It's important to note that you may have the option to change your path multiple times in your life, making the ability to choose a new career a valuable life skill.

Perform a self-assessment

Before making any important decision, it's a good idea to take time for self-reflection. Choosing a career is no different. In this step, you'll reflect on what kind of work environment you want to be in, what type of work you enjoy, who you want to work with, and more.

As you're reflecting, you may want to write down your notes. These can be helpful references as you're evaluating job descriptions later on.

Here are a few questions to get you started. Try not to dwell on the questions but rather, write down the first thoughts that come to mind. If you're not sure of some answers, trusted friends or family may be able to give guidance.

Self-assessment questions to consider:

What are your key values? Example answers: Financial stability, helping others, independence

What soft skills do you possess? Example answers: Time management, communication, confidence, problem-solving

What technical skills do you possess? Example answers: Data analytics, planning, research, multilingual, photography

What natural aptitudes do you have? Example answers: Writing, leadership, selling, project management, communicating, planning, technical problem-solving

What's your personality like? Example answers: , quiet, outgoing, confident, aggressive, loyal

What are you interested in? Example answers: Technology, writing, medicine, design

Identify your must-haves

Next, take some time to identify your must-haves in a job. These can range from anything like salary or travel to benefits and location. It might be helpful to return to the question-answer activity when recording what you can't be flexible with when it comes to your career:

Do you need to earn a certain salary?

Do you require certain benefits like specific healthcare coverage or certain amount of time off?

Could you take a job that involved travel?

Do you need to work in a certain location?

Do you require any sort of flexibility to work from home?

Do you need to adhere to a specific job title or level?

Are there certain tasks you need to or do not want to perform?

Is there a certain work environment you cannot operate well in?

It is important to know what you need from a job ahead of time. For example, if you need to earn a consistent salary, you may want to avoid freelance work. Once you've determined your must-haves, you can use the research phase to determine jobs that might not work for you.

Make a list of jobs to explore

After understanding a bit more about yourself and your needs in a job, start looking for jobs that sound interesting or desirable to you. If there's a job you don't know much about, write it down and research it later. You may end up finding an interesting career path. Additionally, remember that job titles don't always represent the actual job perfectly. While a title might not seem desirable, the job description might be a good fit for you. To start your list of jobs, here are some considerations:

Evaluate your strengths and talents. What are you good at? Whether you identify soft or hard skills, determining your strengths paired with things you enjoy can help you find a career that sets you up for success. If you're good at organizing and interpreting data, you might write down jobs like data analyst, computer scientist or data scientist.

Research and narrow down your list

After you've explored jobs that seem interesting, start researching each one to create a short-list of serious career possibilities. The goal is to arrive at one or two career paths that you're excited about. You can use the following steps as a guide for your research:

"Day in the life." To get a better idea about whether a certain career might be a good fit for you, look into what the day-to-day of each job looks like. One way to get a bit more detailed information on jobs is by browsing career paths. Get example job descriptions and common tasks and responsibilities. You might also consider asking to shadow people in your network with jobs on your list.

Salary. Whether you have a specific salary requirement or not, it might be helpful to learn about average compensation for the jobs you've identified. Salary trends is a tool that let you see the trends in compensation for specific jobs in different locations. Enter a job title and you'll see the salary range in various cities and with different employers.

Job outlook. Another key piece of information is how your selected job stands in the labor market. This includes data like hiring trends and job growth. Search for news stories about the industry or job title that interests you. You will want to give favor to jobs that have steady hiring and growth.

Get training and update your resume

Once you've narrowed your list down to one or possibly two career paths, you'll need to assess whether you need additional training or credentials. While some employers are willing to provide on-the-job training, others will look for candidates who already possess their requirements. For details on a specific job, carefully review the job posting. Pay attention to sections labeled "Requirements" and "Education and Experience."

Once you've determined that you are qualified for this career path, update your resume to reflect your relevant strengths and skills. It can be helpful to explore job postings to understand what employers in your industry and position are looking for in candidates.

Find and apply for jobs

You can begin looking for opportunities on Indeed, on desktop or on mobile. To add filters, select the "Filter" button. From there, you can set your search distance, job type (full-time, part-time, contract etc.), and experience level.

For detailed information on searching for jobs, visit The Essential Job Search Guide.

If you've successfully accepted a new job, we'd love to hear about it. Share your story on gotajob.indeed.com.

Continue growing and learning

As with any change, it can take time to adjust to your new career. During this transition time, pay attention to the parts of your job that you're enjoying. You'll continue growing, learning and changing as you understand more about yourself, your industry and what works best for you.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you step into a new career:

Make the most out of your first year. In a new job, it can be overwhelming to take in new information, learn the industry and become an established member of the team. You might research how to succeed in your new role.

Keep track of your goals. If you are feeling uneasy or unsatisfied in your career, it can be helpful to go back to your future goals. If your career no longer aligns with what you want in your future, consider shifting your tasks or looking for other roles that might be a better fit.

Pursue your interests. If there is a certain task, activity or role you particularly enjoy, spend time developing and exploring those interests. Following what you enjoy and are good at can help you advance in your career and get the most out of your day to day role.

TRENTON, N.J. (April 22, 2020) - The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) today launched its New Jersey Entrepreneur Support Program to help Garden State entrepreneurs with limited funding navigate COVID-19-related cashflow constraints by giving them access to capital from investors that are already investing in their companies. A link to the program application is posted on the State's COVID-19 Business Information Hub. This guarantee program is part of a package of initiatives, including grants and loans, announced late last month to support businesses and workers facing economic hardship due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

The New Jersey Entrepreneur Support Program is a $5 million program that will create a guarantee to support repayment of an investor loan advanced for working capital purposes and is designed to encourage investors to support businesses within their portfolios.

"The financial support of angel investors, venture capital firms, and other similar investment entities is the lifeblood that drives the innovation economy and entrepreneurship in the Garden State," said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. "In these challenging times, we remain committed to ensuring that investment dollars continue flowing to emerging technology and life sciences companies in the Garden State as we work toward fulfilling Governor Murphy's vision of creating the most diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem in the nation."

The program will provide an 80 percent NJEDA guarantee for an eligible new loan or convertible note by a qualified investor into a New Jersey qualified business, not to exceed a $200,000 guarantee per company. Investors are qualified for the program if they have already provided funding to a New Jersey company through a simple agreement for equity (SAFE), convertible note, or equity investment as of March 9, 2020 (the date of the Governor's Executive Order 103). Participating investors are not required to be New Jersey residents and can include, but are not limited to, individuals, trusts, and corporations. There will be no fees associated with the NJ Entrepreneur Support Program for the first five years of a loan and then standard modification fees will apply.

To be eligible to benefit from the program, a company must be headquartered in New Jersey, have fewer than 25 total employees with a minimum of 50 percent of its employees in the Garden State, and under $5 million in revenues as of December 31, 2019.

Additional eligibility requirements for both investors and entrepreneurs can be found at http://cv.business.nj.gov.

FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY CENTER

Financial stability empowers families and builds stronger communities.

It is essential that individuals and families be able to make informed financial decisions to weather trying economic times and to plan for the future.

The Urban League of Essex County has been providing financial capability education and coaching to individuals and families for more than five years. The goal of ULEC’s financial capability program is to provide fundamental knowledge of financial staples such as best practices, credit-building initiatives, saving incentive programs, debt management and promote economic stability among the low-to-moderate income households. Financial coaches facilitate this process through workshops, seminars and one-on-one individualized client-driven sessions.

The Financial Opportunity Center has helped over 500 participants create financial goals, build better banking habits, increase net worth, establish and build credit knowledge and scores in preparation for retirement. Participants of financial literacy classes build portfolios rich with goals and priorities for building their futures. To date, more than 4,000 residents and 800 students have received this invaluable training.

For more information, or to get started on your own financial empowerment plan, contact Ms. Higgins at rhiggins@ulec.org or call 973-624-9535, x228
