1st Meeting

Professionalcareeraspirations

Previous thinking:

Why did you enroll your degree / PhD? Did you get what you expected? Is it what you still want?
Why and when did you take those critical decisions that changed / set up your career aspirations?

Goal:

Define possible professional aspirations and discuss on what you may need to get there and how to do it.

Some topics to deal with during the session:

What is your work history? What organization are you currently working for?
What do you enjoy the best/least about your work?
What are you currently working on (professionally, personally, developmentally)?
How did you get to where you are now? What types of obstacles did you have to

overcome?
Was there a time you messed up and felt like you’d failed? How did you bounce back?
Think back to five years ago. Did you envision your career as it is today?
What is your dream job?
Where do you want your career to go over the next three years?
How can we weigh in different career path options to help make the correct decision?
This topic has been especially relevant for you? Who else can you talk/what information

can you check to look into it?
