5 Steps to Grow Your Career

• Define Yourself & Your Desires

  Take time off alone to reflect on who you are and what you want out of life. Look deep into yourself and give honest answers. Think also in terms of your strengths and weaknesses. This will also help you to define your interests, skills, personality and ambitions.

• Research & Explore Options & Possibilities

  After you learn more of who you are and what you want out of life, now is the time to search for that perfect job that match your interests and life goals. If you find yourself lacking in some skills or knowledge, look for courses that will close these gaps.

• Plan Your Career Growth

  Once you know where you want to reach, plan how will you achieve this step by step. Think about timeframe, monetary rewards and qualifications. For example, from entry level role to supervisory and finally to management position. Write all these down.

• Get Moving!

  Once you have planned your career growth plan. Get off that seat and start moving. Sometimes, it also means quitting your good paying and comfortable job!

• Evaluate and Reinvent Yourself

  On a yearly basis, you want to look where you are in your career development plan. After five years, you want to relook at the entire plan because your life priorities may have changed. Make sure you love what you do every single day!
