    An employment plan involves evaluating one's skills, interests, and talents to select a suitable career. A career requires many years of training to achieve competence, so thorough self-examination is important to determine one's true interests in particular fields. Both technical skills like computer usage and soft skills like teamwork and communication are important for most careers. Locating suitable employment involves researching job descriptions and requirements to find a good match for one's qualifications and availability.

    DEVELOPING AN EMPLOYMENT PLAN

    An employment plan is an evaluation of your skills, interest, and talents.


    Selecting a career is different than getting a job. A typical job,
    while it does involve some training, usually can be learned in a few
    days to several months. However, a career requires many years to
    achieve competence. Therefore, selecting a career should require a
    thorough self-examination to determine what your true interest is in
    a particular career fields. Some items that you should enjoy or would
    be willing and able to learn include:
    _ Working with your hands, using tools and equipment
    _ Computer usage, including typing skills
    _ Working in an area where lifting is often required
    _ Being able to read, understand, and follow service information,
    technical service bulletins, and work orders
    _ Being able to perform diagnostic work and figure out the root
    cause of a problem
    SOFT SKILLS In addition, any career, including being a service
    technician, requires many people skills, often called soft skills.
    These people-related skills include:
    _ Working cooperatively with other people
    _ Communicating effectively with others verbally (speech) and
    in writing
    _ Working as a member of a team for the benefit of all
    _ Being able to work by yourself to achieve a goal or complete
    a job assignment
    _ Being able to lead or supervise others
    _ Willingness to work with others with a different background or
    country of origin
    While it is almost impossible to be able to answer all of these
    questions, just looking at these items and trying to identify your interests
    and talents will help in your selection of a career that gives
    you lifelong satisfaction.
    LOCATING EMPLOYMENT POSSIBILITIES Locating
    where you wish to work is a very important part of your career. Of
    course, where you would like to work may not have an opening and
    you may have to work hard to locate a suitable employer. First, try to
    select a shop or dealership where you think you would like to work
    because of location, vehicles serviced, or other factors. Ask other
    technicians who have worked or are presently working there to be
    sure that the location would meet your needs.
    If looking for employment through a want ad in a newspaper or
    employment Web site, check the following:
    _ Job description. Is this a position that could advance into a
    more technical position?
    _ Tools needed. Most professional service technician positions
    require that the technician provide their own tools. (The shop
    or dealership provides the shop equipment.) Do you have the
    tools needed to do the job?
    _ Hours needed. Are you available during the hours specified
    in the ad?
    _ Drug testing. Is a drug test needed for employment and are
    you prepared to pass?
