Ch. 4  Developing Your Career Plan
Step 3 
Work Experience Plan

You now have your career plan well defined and your educational plan to accomplish it.  The next step is to develop a work experience plan.  This plan is to include a place to learn all of the skills you will need to start your professional career.  This plan needs to include three sections:
  • Operational skills, those skills you will need to know about the area you have selected as your career choice, such as if your choice is front office manager, then you need to learn all of the operational skills needed to work any shift in the front office.
  • Management skills, those skills you will need to know to manage this area.  If we keep with the front office manager: budgeting, scheduling, training, human resource related, marketing, etc.
  • Interpersonal skills: those skills you will need to function well as a leader, to interact with your subordinates.  And those skills needed to interact as a member of the management team for your organization.
The overall Work Experience Plan should be able to be contained on one page.

Each of the five sections in this chapter will be evaluated on the following criteria:
