It doesn’t matter whether your career goal is to achieve a promotion, a new role, a pay rise or something entirely different. Whatever you want to achieve requires a plan. Not just hoping for the best.
A plan of how you are going to make your goal become a reality.
Specific actions, time frames and measures are the 3 things that are essential to include.
In other words:
- What are you going to do?
- When are you going to do it? and
- How will you know you have been successful?
Don’t just hope for the best!
Plan your career the way you would plan your work.
Take control of your future and hold yourself accountable!
Include specific actions, time frames and measures in your career plan!
