Career describes an individual’s journey through learning, work and other aspects of life

OPPORTUNITY

•Can you shape it?

A GOOD DAY Think of a work day you really enjoyed..(2/3 minutes)

Why did it feel good?

Think about difference between good day itself and what you are good at?

How often do you have days like that?

Do you want them all to be like that or different?

..Now let’s think about your role

SUMMARY Your job – do you like it, or have you outgrown it?

What is the right role now, and later?

What competencies have you got, what is missing?

Are you seeking feedback regularly?

Do you need a buddy, a mentor, a coach?

Consider other factors for future: culture, commute, training, reward

Ask yourself about your family plans and how you will work

Are you networking enough, at all?

Are you reading and keeping in touch with the industry?


FINAL THOUGHTS You can influence your career direction

You can and should prepare - luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity

No one way forward - vertical and horizontal moves are common

Roles vary enormously - no generic professional qualification

A moving feast – client-side, consultancy and interim

This is on-going - define and re-define as you grow professionally

Be proactive, be brave – your career, your choice
