Based on my past work experiences, generate three small career experiments that align with my background, skills, and interests. Each experiment should follow a low-risk prototype approach and be designed to test a potential career path as a fit for my future career. The scope and complexity of the experiments should be scaled with my past experience (ie if I have a great deal of experience in a given area, the experiments can be more complex). Two of the experiments should be related to my current experiences (example: if I’m currently a student in business administration at Memorial University, suggest an experiment that I can do with my classmates or within Memorial University). Root these two experiments intimately with my current experiences. The third experiment can be more speculative.
For each experiment, include:
A descriptive title
An estimated timeframe (where the average timeline is 1 week) e.g., 3 hours, 2 weeks)
Actions (clear, concise steps to complete the experiment)
Learning goals (three learning outcomes I hope to get from the experiment)
Career Fit Indicators (a set of three reflection questions for me to consider after the experiment, to identify aspects of the experiment that suggest this path is a good fit for me (e.g., Did I feel energized by the work? Did I enjoy solving the types of problems involved?))
Skills tested (choose only from the skills I have demonstrated in past experiences and the skills required at various stages of the career path)
The experiments should be practical, achievable, and insightful in helping me determine my next steps in my work. The career path is described as: Career Path: The Strategic Innovator.

Based on my past work experiences, generate three small career experiments that align with my background, skills, and interests. Each experiment should follow a low-risk prototype approach and be designed to test a potential career path as a fit for my future career. The scope and complexity of the experiments should be scaled with my past experience (ie if I have a great deal of experience in a given area, the experiments can be more complex). Two of the experiments should be related to my current experiences (example: if I’m currently a student in business administration at Memorial University, suggest an experiment that I can do with my classmates or within Memorial University). Root these two experiments intimately with my current experiences. The third experiment can be more speculative.
For each experiment, include:
A descriptive title
An estimated timeframe (where the average timeline is 1 week) e.g., 3 hours, 2 weeks)
Actions (clear, concise steps to complete the experiment)
Learning goals (three learning outcomes I hope to get from the experiment)
Career Fit Indicators (a set of three reflection questions for me to consider after the experiment, to identify aspects of the experiment that suggest this path is a good fit for me (e.g., Did I feel energized by the work? Did I enjoy solving the types of problems involved?))
Skills tested (choose only from the skills I have demonstrated in past experiences and the skills required at various stages of the career path)
The experiments should be practical, achievable, and insightful in helping me determine my next steps in my work. The career path is described as: Career Path: The Civic Transformer.

Based on my past work experiences, generate three small career experiments that align with my background, skills, and interests. Each experiment should follow a low-risk prototype approach and be designed to test a potential career path as a fit for my future career. The scope and complexity of the experiments should be scaled with my past experience (ie if I have a great deal of experience in a given area, the experiments can be more complex). Two of the experiments should be related to my current experiences (example: if I’m currently a student in business administration at Memorial University, suggest an experiment that I can do with my classmates or within Memorial University). Root these two experiments intimately with my current experiences. The third experiment can be more speculative.
For each experiment, include:
A descriptive title
An estimated timeframe (where the average timeline is 1 week) e.g., 3 hours, 2 weeks)
Actions (clear, concise steps to complete the experiment)
Learning goals (three learning outcomes I hope to get from the experiment)
Career Fit Indicators (a set of three reflection questions for me to consider after the experiment, to identify aspects of the experiment that suggest this path is a good fit for me (e.g., Did I feel energized by the work? Did I enjoy solving the types of problems involved?))
Skills tested (choose only from the skills I have demonstrated in past experiences and the skills required at various stages of the career path)
The experiments should be practical, achievable, and insightful in helping me determine my next steps in my work. The career path is described as: Career Path: The Eco-Innovation Leader.
