      2 A vision board for your dream job

      Do you know what you want to do in the future? Have you thought about jobs or decided on a career path that you want to pursue when you finish school? What do you think are your "perfect job matches", meaning the jobs you consider to be your "dream job"?

      Visualizing your ideas will help you and make your ideas more vivid and memorable to your audience. 

      • Create a vision board. The vision board should be a visual representation of your dreams and goals when it comes to your perfect job match. It should also contain pictures, videos and texts that represent your ideas.
      • If you are not familiar with the concept of a vision board, do some research and look for examples online.

      3 Skills for your dream job

      • Go back into your groups and try to generalize certain essentials or necessary skills that young professionals need to consider when choosing a future career. 
      • Each group member decides what they think is essential or necessary for finding and succeeding in your dream job and write their ideas down on their respective lists. 

      • When all of you have finished, read what the others have written. 
      • Then, exchange about the results and decide what you can all agree on. 
      • Use the discussion phrases in Lesson 3/4 of this course if necessary.

        • How would you rate your group's discussion? Was it easy to find a common denominator and aspects you all agreed on?
        • How relevant are the essential skills you selected in your group with regard to the competitiveness of the global talent pool?
        • Go back to the beginning of this lesson. Is your answer to the sentence "I fear/look forward to workplaces of the future because ..." still the same or has it changed in the course of this lesson? Explain why/why not.
        • Think about the monetary prospects of your dream job and if money plays an important role for you when choosing a future career for the next lesson.
