Career Planning

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:49:16 +0100

Are you happy with your current lifestyle? Does your current career allow you the lifestyle you seek? If
not. Are there any other jobs/ careers that are suitable for you? Your success in making that transition
or career change depends on your preparation and the amount of career planning you will do.

Before you can make a career choice you have to learn about yourself - your values, interests, and skills.
Know what is important to you and what is not. Be as honest as possible. Research shows that the match
between your job/career and your personality plays a major role in your success as well as your job
satisfaction.

Spend some quality time reflecting on your career and developing plans for your future. Set goals.   You
will use these goals to develop your action plan. Don’t be defeated by laziness or your tendency to
procrastinate, lack of motivation or apathy.   Don’t let any negative thoughts cloud your thinking. In the
same way that you should not put so much pressure on yourself that it paralyzes your plans and decisions.

Gather a list of occupations that are available out there and match it with your interests, values and
skills. Learn about jobs/careers from your friends, colleagues or from the internet.

Have realistic expectations. You cannot be 100% satisfied with your career and that’s how it is with life.
Narrow down the choices and focus on one or two careers.   Identify the qualifications you need to move to
the next step in your career. Do you need to learn new skills, certification, or experience?

Goal setting is a proactive way of dealing with challenges as well as coming up with solutions to these
difficulties that may affect our plans.

Why waste your time dreaming and hoping for a better life when you can go and get one right now?
Get your career on the right track and start setting your goals today!
