shadowing experience
A shadowing experience involves observing a professional—such as a doctor, lawyer, or engineer—during their work to gain insight into their daily tasks, responsibilities, and work environment. It allows you to see firsthand how they handle their job, ask questions, and understand the skills and knowledge required. This experience provides valuable real-world exposure and helps you determine if a particular career aligns with your interests and goals, all while gaining a deeper understanding without actively performing the work yourself.
