8 Important Career Tips
Lifelong learning
The world is constantly changing with people looking for new ways to get ahead. If you are not developing your skill set, you will not develop better job
opportunities. Having a long term
vision involves regularly updating your skills and knowledge base accordingly.
Be a good listener
Cultivate the habit of asking, listening and learning. There is a
wealth of experience to be learned
from your co-workers, your boss
& colleagues. Most people would be glad to explain their
perspective and share their feedback.
Your current job is the
best place to launch your career
It is very important that you meet and fulfill the requirements of your current job. It doesn’t take much to go
from average performance to excellent performance. Do your current job to the best of your ability, discuss with your
supervisor the things you can improve upon,
come up with suggestions to accelerate
progress. Also, feel free to ask for help in building your career. Many
times your current company
offers more challenging roles to high
performing employees.
Network, Network,
Network
A good network is a great place
to discover exciting careers, to explore new trends and of course
learn about new job opportunities. Don’t wait to build and cultivate your
network until you actually need it. Regularly engage with your contacts by
staying in touch and keeping up-to-date with their personal & professional
lives. This way you can stay informed on a regular basis.
Start planning for your
dream job
Your dream job is a
place where you would be occupied doing the things you love and not bothered by
things you hate. Find out your preference of working alone or with a team. Do you prefer
technology over people? Is taking responsibility of others what you prefer?
Do you want to run your own business?
Clearly identify your needs before making the next career move.
Your dream job might as
well show up tomorrow
Any day can be the turning point of your career so be prepared. The
best way to progress is to keep updating your resume on job search websites, knowledge
and skills. Above all be prepared with a professional resume to share with
recruiters or hiring managers.
Realize your dreams by
putting them into action
Never let a job kill
your dreams. If you aim for higher and higher goals the
time will become right to put your dreams into action. Go ahead, take that course you’ve
been meaning to start, apply for a better job, or get busy starting your
own business. Your day job is going to
get busy, don’t use it as a “waiting zone” instead use your time and energy
– now, to realize your dreams.
Pick the right tools
that you can handle
There are many tools
available for building your future career;
some simple and some complicated. Make use of books, tutorials, video
lectures, podcast, and audio books. Even
shorter term degrees and certifications add weight to your resume.
