Managing your career development isimportant because you actually must take action to do it. Many people get into a career where they stay and often they don’t know what to do next. Here are some ideas for your career management planning:
- Know what you want — when you first start a career you may not know what you want and it could take some time to figure this out. There comes a time though when you know whether you want to move up in a company or leave it. This is important to know.
- Keep track of your accomplishments — when you seek a new job or when you decide to stay in a company you need to have a list of your accomplishments. These will come in handy later as you craft a new resume or bid for a different position.
- Do professional development — keep up with your professional development. Keep up with new skills needed in your industry but also keep up computer skills, learn anything new that comes into the company and be the first one to sign up for any training that the company provides.
- Talk to your supervisor often — if you plan to move up in the company talk to your supervisor regularly. Have meetings that are less than an hour to talk about your accomplishments, where you see yourself going and look for any new projects that you may be a fit for. This shows initiative and you want your supervisor to think of you when new projects come up.
- Study the new position — if you are moving up in the company, talk to the person who holds the job you want now. Have them mentor you about how they got to where they are. This doesn’t work in every situation but it will work in many. Talk to them about their job, the skills they need and anything else you need for your own career management.
- Create a plan — most people have a plan in their head but you should have a plan written down on paper. This plan should include how you will market yourself and the things you will do for career management. Keep your plan updated in the same way that you would a marketing plan for a business.
