Is it too early to start Career Planning in Y1&2?

⭕Is it too early to start Career Planning in Y1&2?

Of course, not☝️ Here are 3 reasons why you would be benefitted for starting early:

1️⃣Room to explore: If you are still thinking about what profession to take in the future, you can start learning different job descriptions in different industries. Try working as an Intern in various areas to get hands-on experience about the job you might want to do to understand more about your career preference and ability.

2️⃣If you have a specific goal, start building your profile asap: Even if you have an interest in a specific industry, companies would not employ you no matter what. So it is crucial to start preparing yourself early, especially if it is a popular industry to enhance your competence. HKCareers have been holding Webinars with Unis for years, and in recent years, more Y1 students join, implying that more students have started focusing on careers at an early stage.

3️⃣Make your life easier: Building a profile is just like chasing after good grades. Having good grades right from the beginning in Y1/2 is a much easier thing to do. As GPA is a part or profile building, so if you can start building your CV at Y1/Y2, and keep progressing, it would make it easier if you would like to defer Y4 to find internships.
