Tips for sucessful career planning
Friends,career planning planning is not an activity that should be done once-in high school or college- and then left behind as we move forward in our jobs and careers.
Here, then, are a few tips to help you achieve successful career planning.
1. Make career planning an annual event
Find a day or weekend once a year- more often if you feel the need or if you're planning a major career change- and shedule a retreat for yourself. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your career-what you really want out of your career, out of your life. By making career planning an annual event, you will feel more secure in your career choice and direction- and you will be better prepared for the many uncertainties and difficulties that lie ahead in all of our jobs and career.
2. Map your path since last career planning
One of your first activities whenever you take on career planning is spending time mapping out your job and career path since the last time you did any sort of career planning. Once you have mapped ypur past, take the time to reflect on your course- and note why it looks the way it does.
3Reflect on your likes and dislikes, needs and wants
Make a two column list of your major likes and dislikes. Then use this list to examine your current job and career path. If your job and career still fall mostly in the like column, then you know you are nstill on the right path; how ever your job activities fall mostly in the dislike column, now is the time to begin examining new jobs and new careers.
4.Examine your pastimes and hobbies
Career planning provides a great time to also examine the activities you like doing when you are not working. It may sound a bit odd, to examine non-work activities when doing career planning, but it's not. Many times your hobbies and leisurely pursuits can give you great insight into future career paths.
5.Set career and job goals
A major component of career planning is setting short-term (in the coming year) and longterm (beyond a year) career and job goals. Once you intimate this process, another component of career planning becomes reviewwing and adjusting those goals as your career plans progress or change- and developing new goals once you accomplish your previous goals.
