Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday, of Unit 1
Points: 100

Overview:

A career vision statement helps you visualize yourself in the career you really want—the
career that will bring you fulfillment and joy. Your vision is a “picture” of what you aspire
to and what inspires you within your work life.

For this assignment, you will begin painting the picture of your career vision. Your
mental image will be drafted into a career vision statement. Career vision statements
are very powerful and meaningful when paired with career exploration. Creating a vision
statement may take several attempts and rewrites until you identify with your career
vision statement.

Instructions:

As you begin the career exploration process and answer the question “Who Am I?”.
start thinking about your personal and career vision. What accomplishments do you
wish to achieve in your personal and professional life? Respond to the questions below,
and then reflect on your responses to develop your career vision statement.

• What will your ideal career look like?

• What kind of work is meaningful to you?

• What level of responsibility do you desire?

• What type of work environment will energize you and give you a sense of

purpose?

Requirements:

• Be sure to answer all questions clearly and thoroughly.

• Provide excellent explanations using appropriate examples.

• Include concepts learned in the unit material.

• Be sure your writing and format are clear, professional, and error-free.

Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before
you write and again after you write.
