"You're not alone. Putting the pieces together and writing a great plan in a changing world is intimidating for everyone," says DeGaetano. "What makes the task of writing a plan so difficult is deciding what to include. If you want to work in the field of your choice, then planning is a necessity. That said, being yourself yet displaying focused enthusiasm is the best approach.

"However in this shortened attention span culture, there is such thing as going overboard with far too many details. Format should be a living, breathing document; and also changeable for survival planning in the marketplace."
