5 Things You Must Do NOW To Take Control Of Your Career Future


(Continued)

4. Prospect today for the career and growth opportunities of tomorrow. Successful networking involves meeting and interacting in professional and social situations to learn about other people and the opportunities they expose. So always try to identify and cultivate opportunities in the organization where you now work. If networking externally, focus on activities and opportunities that provide the greatest return on your time.

5. Start preparing for your next career TODAY. Whether you've just started a new job or are established in your current position, it's essential that you plan for your next career move or position. One ingredient for successful planning is to initiate a regimen of continuous learning. For example, make the commitment to read one additional article from a trade or job related publication every week. At the end of the month, you'll be four times smarter than most of your co-workers.

Focus on small improvements, and build upon each one over time. Learn one new skill this month. Next month, understand one new challenge or objective of your company or customer. Attend a career-related seminar the month after that. At the end of a year, you'll be amazed at how much better you will be.
