• If you haven't already, perform a self-assessment. The process of self-assessment helps you evaluate your values, personality, skills, and interests. For self-assessment information and tools, check out our Career Planning tutorial.
• Look at some old magazines. Cut out pictures that symbolize your future dreams and ideas. Get a piece of poster board and write "My Future" in the center. Glue the pictures to the poster board, and post your creation where it will inspire you on a daily basis.
