It is uncertain how many careers you will have in your lifetime. What is more certain is that if you’re like most people, the transitions between these careers won’t be well thought out or planned. Join the Wily Manager guys this week as they talk about how to make good decisions when you’re in a career transition phase.
Monday’s Tip: Be very clear on what you value. “Values” is a loaded word, but in this case, it simply means being very clear on the things that are most valuable to you in a career, and in life.
Tuesday’s Tip: Know your likes and dislike. Write down those things you particularly like and dislike about your current role. Also consider what you like to do when you’re not at work.
Wednesday’s Tip: Know what you’re good at. Write down what you’re good at, and what you’re not so good at as it pertains to your job.
Thursday’s Tip: Articulate your skills and experience. What marketable skills do you have, and what experience is transferrable to any potential future role?
Friday’s Tip: Consider other factors. Where to you want to live? How much do you want to travel? How much money do you need to make? Will your ego needs be satisfied?
