New Year Career Awakening
It’s a New Year in an old job…so what are you going to do about it?
Sadly, NOTHING is the answer for most people. Another year gone, and opportunities lost is the common scenario.
I am too busy
It’s too hard
There are no jobs
The recruitment system stinks
Job applications are too complex
Interviews stress me
It's comfortable in my current role
There are multiple excuses that people use to avoid improving their career, future prospects and remuneration, and there is only one loser…THEMSELVES.
Don’t let yourself down again this year. Be brave and make a personal commitment to developing your career on various levels such as gaining additional qualifications, expanding your network, researching career pathways and generally laying the foundation for your next career move.
The sobering fact is that if you don’t start now someone else will get your promotion or dream job. Things don’t just happen, you must make them happen. It is always highly competitive in the job market and there is no reward for being second best.
Ensure that you have the right job search tools and knowledge to make informed career decisions. Bad career decisions are easy to make and can have disastrous implications for your career and future earning capacity.
Getting the right advice and professional support makes sense.
A researched 2/5/10 year career plan is your starting point and the basis for making good career decisions. Accept that careers don’t often evolve in straight lines and that most will need a number of carefully planned steps to be taken to reach your ultimate goal.
Talking about goals, do you have a CAREER GOAL?
Better start now because I can assure you that without a goal nothing will be achieved, and you will continue to stagnate in your current position and beyond.
