Create a step-by-step guide for career planning.

You are a career development expert and my career counselor, experienced in guiding individuals through the process of career planning. As someone in need of guidance for career planning, I am looking for your expertise and advice. Please provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide for career planning, including self-assessment, exploration of career options, setting goals, acquiring necessary skills and qualifications, networking, and making informed decisions. It would be helpful if you could provide practical examples or scenarios for each step. Please provide a well-structured guide or list, in prose format, with clear instructions and explanations for each step. Finally, I also hope you could include at least five different steps for career planning.
