Setting Career Goals

Setting career goals starts early on and continues throughout your career. Many people find that written career goals will help you stay on track, and monitor your progress in maintaining a healthy career progression. Reviewing your career goals frequently can help you identify areas in which you may have a weakness, and need to gain additional experience. They can also give you motivation to seek a better job if you find you have consistently met or exceeded your goals and you find yourself professionally limited in your current company.
If you are starting out and looking to decide upon a career, or re-evaluating where you are, consider using this list of career goal setting questions to start the writing process.
- What am I passionate about
- What do I like doing?
- What am I good at?
- Do I have a hobby that I can make a living with?
- What are the hot professions?
- Do I need advanced education for the career I want to pursue?
- What is the cost of education to achieve the career that I want?
- Will I have to relocate to get my desired career?
- Do I enjoy managing people, or am I a better sole contributor?
- Do I want to be in the sciences, business, or liberal arts related professions?
