d. "To impress those part of the interview process"
C
A career goal defines who or what you wish to be professionally. In addition, it will help tie to-gether the elements of your job search—the resume writing, research, employer contacts, and interview process—by giving you direction. Setting a career goal does not guarantee achievement of that goal. It does not help focus on the job search or impress those participating in the interview process.
