Plan “B” Strategy –“B” Prepared and “B” Successful!

Starting post-secondary school is supposed to be one of the most exciting moments in your life. However, when the sheer gravity of it sets in, that excitement can be overwhelmed by stress and fear of rejection.

If you have a plan “B”, you’ll guarantee yourself some peace of mind.

Consider the following and you’ll see that even if things don’t go the way you expected, there is always another opportunity right around the corner!

Start by Choosing Wisely

Selecting the right school is tough! There are many schools offering different versions of the same program; it can be very confusing. Research each option thoroughly! Make sure you speak with someone in each school’s admissions department. Even go in to the school for a tour so that you can confidently choose the environment that’s best for you.

Quality education will help you be successful; don’t feel you have to “settle”. When it comes to your career, it’s worth an investment of time and money. Doing it right the first time means you never have regrets.

Use Your Resources

There are thousands of potential careers out there!

Utilize the expertise of your school guidance counsellors, or find out where there are employment centers in your area with career counsellors who can help you learn more about exactly what is available. You may find that there are some great options that you had never even considered.

Your Hobbies Are Potential Career Options

Do you find yourself coiffing your friends before you go out Friday night? You could be a budding hairstylist! Do you finish the latest video games and dream up ways you could have made them better? Your future might be in video game design.

Those things you enjoy in your spare time now, could be the careers you’ve been looking for!
