How do I choose a career?

You can find a career listed by location, or job title, or you can just read through the Professional Member Profiles until you find someone with a career you want to learn more about. The women who are on the Professional Member list are here to help you. They want to answer your questions, be a mentor, and help you navigate your career path. All you have to do is engage them by writing to them. How to proceed? Here are some suggestions:

Who are you? Tell someone on the Professional Member list a bit about you, your name, school and grade to begin. Then elaborate by telling the Professional Member a bit about what brought you to IGNITE, and why you are interested in learning more about technology and engineering careers. That should get you both started off on a conversation. After you get to know someone a bit, then you might want to ask her for a Job Shadow day.

We can schedule a Job Shadow on your day off; a school holiday can be spent learning about a new career opportunity by doing a Job Shadow with a Professional Member.

Ask your questions and be mentored online by women who want to help you understand what they do. Give it a try! You might discover a new career interest, or learn about a career you never knew existed. Have fun!
