Secret #1 - The Definition of "Job" and "Career"
3 Secrets To A Successful Career Path by Tony
Jacowski
Secret #1 - The Definition of "Job" and "Career"
A fast food position is a job. Being an accountant is a career. It's
important to understand the difference between the two and not just
settle for the former. In the beginning, lots of people work at their
"job" while also training for their "careers".
Development Issues: Careers develop over time - and you will realize
whether a particular career is valuable and acceptable to you. There
will come a time when you will realize the true significance of a
career. Generally, career specialists are of the same opinion - that
careers are progressive and change over time - what you decide to do at
18, 25 and 30 will sometimes be markedly different.
There will be occasions where you will probably may have quite different
views of every profession and still remain in a dilemma as to what
career to pursue. Settling down in a particular career is a decision you
can make only when you determine the areas you are good at and the
activities that you enjoy doing.
Secret # 2 - Be Familiar with Yourself and What You Want
One of best ways to be unsuccessful in your search for the right career
is to be unclear as to what you want. In Secret # 1, it was said that it
is all right not to have a specific career track (at least in the
beginning), since it is impractical to believe that you can flawlessly
prepare a career path.
On the other hand, you should be very observant when you are hunting for
a job. You should be able to determine that a career you are submitting
an application for is heading in the right direction, even though you
may be a bit unclear on your long-term objectives.
The Kind of Jobs that are Appropriate for Me: Evaluate your strong
points, interests, principles, and character. Make use of career guides
and personality tests. Try seeking guidance from a certified career
coach or therapist.
No matter what techniques or tools you use, you will be accumulating a
private assessment and outline that will direct you on a suitable career
path.
Secret # 3 - Identify What You Have to Offer
There is no doubt that you must be able to highlight your skills,
strengths and accomplishments when applying for a position. Prospective
employers simply want to know what you have to offer. They will ask you
the question "What can you achieve for us?" In order to be able to
answer this, you must market your skills and expertise well, as well as
your ability to adapt quickly to changing environments.
Carrying out an evaluation of yourself, as supported in Secret # 2, is
one method to develop your self-marketing plan. Your interests,
expertise, and principles form the foundation of your career. They also
give prospective employers a good idea as to who you are and how you
will be valuable to their business.
