Researching a Purchase

This activity looks at how we naturally research and use the information to make decisions. When you tell others you tell others your "researching a purchase" story, they may have had different questions and different go-to sources. What this shows is that we all have similarities and differences in using the information to make a choice and that there is no one right method. Use this activity to begin a dialogue about the importance of research in career planning specifically. Available in English and French.
