With us you can prepare and execute a successful career change.
As an individual you make choices on what degree to study at university, what occupation or profession to pursue and broadly what type and kind of employer you wish to work for. With these choices comes responsibility –responsibility for your own destiny and for the direction in your career and your life. It is now you the individual that must manage your career and make the decisions that guide you in one
direction or another.
Planning and managing your career is the technique you use to help you be successful in your career and by doing so you will substantially increase your chances of short and long term career satisfaction and success. You need to know at any point of time the quality of your skills and experience and their relevance and value in the market place.
“if you fail to plan you plan to fail“ is very relevant here. If you don’t plan and don’t manage your career it doesn’t mean you wont be successful- it just dramatically reduces the likelihood of you being so because you are leaving your career to chance and to other influences.
Career planning and management is a simple concept although you can make it as comprehensive and sophisticated as you want. It's your strategic plan and it’s your strategy to make you successful.
It's not scientific or precise but it will help guide you. Certainly write your plan down-using the three simple headings (where am I now? where do I want to go? and how will I get there?)
Its better to be “employable” than “employed”
Your focus should be on being “employable” rather than being employed. Being employed can be a temporary status. If you lose your job for whatever reason then you may or may not get another one
depending on your skills experience and the job market.
If you focus on being employable you will always retain the skills and experience that are marketable and in demand and therefore you are far less likely to be out of work should you lose your current job. While it’s only a subtle change in emphasis its important because “being employable “ bestows permanent status.
