The Liberal Arts (the term has nothing to do with contemporary political perspectives) academic majors are intended to turn out well-educated citizens who have both depth and breadth of knowledge and skills. These majors strive to develop students’ abilities to think critically, to view issues in context and from multiple perspectives, to ask and address questions about ethical and societal implications, to engage their creativity, and to communicate complex issues clearly. MANY POSSIBILITIES Because the liberal arts disciplines are not narrowly focused on specific career paths like some other majors such as engineering or accounting, students in liberal arts majors usually have a wider array of professional options. While this kind of career flexibility is good news, it does require students to be more proactive in exploring and pursuing their career goals. It requires the ability to identify one’s skills, strengths, and values and to be able to articulate these clearly to potential employers. READY FOR THE REAL WORLD Many students in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts (and often their parents) are under the misconception that they are unprepared for jobs in the so-called “real world.” Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the top three skills identified by many employers as most critical are communication skills; reasoning and analytical skills; and interpersonal/teamwork skills. Clearly, liberal arts majors have honed these skill sets! The keys to a successful job search for liberal arts majors (and all majors, really) include (1) identifying your skills, strengths, and values; (2) exploring careers and identifying the skills, strengths, and values required; and (3) clearly communicating to potential employers that you are a good match for them. The Career Center is here to help you do just that, and the sooner, the better (though it’s never too late)!

A SPECIAL NOTE TO MAJORS IN THE HUMANITIES, ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The Career Center 4 http://careers.washington.edu A PLANFUL PROCESS Making decisions about your major and your career take time. Are you wondering where to begin? Following a planful process makes it easier to decide. Following these seven steps will help you make good decisions: 1. What am I trying to decide? Identify the decision to be made. Are you trying to make too many decisions all at the same time? Trying to figure out which major to take and which career direction you’ll pursue after graduation? Thinking about attending graduate or professional school? Lumping two or three decisions into one makes it much more difficult to decide, so try to focus on just one decision at a time. Put into words what the decision is that needs to be made now. Keep it simple. 2. What do I need to know? Gather Information. Read, search the internet, talk to people, get hands-on experience. Compare and contrast what you know about yourself (your skills, interests, and values) with what you know about your options. Talk to academic advisers, faculty, other students majoring in your fields of interest, alumni and professionals working in jobs and careers you are considering. The Career Center can help you with this. 3. Generate alternatives. Consider all the possibilities. Use your imagination. Brainstorm. List options. Do not leave out an attractive possibility just because you do not, at the moment, see how it can be done. 4. What are the pros and cons? Weigh the evidence. Carefully consider each option using your head and your heart. What are the advantages/disadvantages? What are the costs? What steps do you need to take to get there? What might happen if you choose that option? What are the consequences? Are there barriers that might get in the way (e.g., low GPA, no related experience, etc.)? How will your choice affect you and others? How much do you care about the things that might be gained or lost by each possible alternative? 5. This choice seems best! Choose among alternatives. Prioritize your options. Once you’ve narrowed down your options to two or three that might work for you, choose the one that seems to work best. Identify a “Plan B” and a “Plan C” in case your first choice doesn’t work out. 6. Take action. Do it! Taking action could involve enrolling in courses, pursuing internships, volunteering or taking a job that will provide you with knowledge and experience in your chosen field. These experiences can confirm or cause you to question whether your choice was the best option for you. What will your next step be? Write it down! Then put it in your calendar or set a deadline to ensure that you will get it done. 7. Did I make a good decision? Review your decision and its consequences. Evaluate your decision. Based on further exposure or experience with the option you chose, does this still seem like the best one for you? If “yes,” you’ve done it! Congratulations! You’ve made a sound decision. If “no” or “not sure,” review and revisit steps 2 through 6 above. Have back-up plans, in case your top choice turns out not to be the best option for you. Not every decision works out, but sometimes you have to make a choice and try it to find out that it’s not the best decision for you. If this happens, then you’ve gathered more information by trying it. Review again which alternatives might work better for you.

Significant strengths are mo tivated skills that are used re peatedly in ex pe riences you have done well and en joyed doing. The more you know about your strengths, the more you will un der stand how to adapt to the changing demands of the workforce. By using your strengths you will be able to im prove in terper sonal re la tionships, build your career, increase your job sat is faction, and re duce stress on the job. Four Basic Steps to Exploring Your Strengths… 1. Accept yourself as having a unique kind of excellence that is always growing within you. 2. Recognize that the elements of your ex cellence have been demonstrated from time to time throughout your life. These el ements have most likely been demon- strated in experiences you identify as achievements: good experiences in which you did things well, you enjoyed doing them, and you are proud of what you did. 3. Believe that by carefully iden ti fying and studying your good ex pe riences, you will find the pattern of skills and tal ents you have re peatedly used to make those ex pe riences happen. 4. Focus on using this pattern of skills and talents or strengths. They are the re liable elements of your spe cial ex cellence. This pattern of strengths provides clues to the kinds of career activities that are likely to be part of your future achievements regardless of your job titles or job descriptions. 1. What is the "good experience" that first comes to your mind? De scribe it briefly in the following space and list your age at the time it took place. 3. In your latest assignment, project, activity, or work, which parts of it did you do best and enjoy most? Give two or more examples. Four Ways to Identify Ten Top Good Experiences… 2. What activities give you the most enjoyment when you are not at work? These could include hobbies, volunteer work, ven tures, projects with the family, or anything else.
