This is the third and final part to this career tips series. This is the link to the first post of this series and here is the second one. Enjoy!
Identify Personal Goals
When you begin to come closer to selecting a career; you need to start identifying some short and long term goals. This is important as you will find it difficult to work in the future in your field of choice if no goals have been achieved. Long term goals can typically be reached after a period of at least 3-5 years once all short term goals have been fulfilled which takes less time for about 6-8 months.
Maintain an action plan
A career action plan refers to a written document laid out by you which includes all the necessary steps to reach the primary or the initial goals that have been set by you. An action plan will help you reach certain points from low to high in an appropriate manner so that any major error isn’t caused by you in your career path.
Start building trust
The most important thing when you finally decide to choose a career you prefer doing is that you should always learn first to trust yourself. You also need to have the trust and faith that everything is going to work out fine in the career you have chosen. This quality will really help you stay bold and pursue new challenges in your career.
Understand the financial income
Although you love a certain career or is passionate about doing something as a career; you also need to realize as soon as you can that, that career in particular should also meet your basic financial needs for the future and should satisfy you.
Though we all think that we need happiness in our career which we receive when we pick something we love doing, but money also plays a complementary role in our lives to get all the instruments of happiness that an individual desires in their lives.
Ultimately it’s the individual’s decision
Often parents tend to take the decision regarding the career of their child which eventually leads to dissatisfaction for the child. So they realize that if they choose a career which interests them and they love doing, they can achieve all the success they desire and so the individual should decide for themselves and no one else should decide on their behalf.
