Career Planning: Writing a Career Action Plan (graduation quotes) Part 2

No comments

By Joee

  One of the most important steps of career planning is writing a good career action plan. The first part of this article showed how you need to first understand where you are and where you want to go in order to prepare your road map or career action. The part 2 of this article shows the next steps in writing a career action plan.

Set Goals

The next step is to prepare a road map to reach from where you are to where you want to go. If you want to be a psychiatrist, you would need to first get a degree, then go through a on-the-job training which is essential to start your own practice, and then eventually you start your own practice. This means you need to set your career goals in this step. Include both long-term goals and short-term goals.

What can go wrong?

It is easy to plan everything but it is said that what a man proposes, God disposes. Even if you do not believe in God, you have to agree that things can go wrong. There could already be barriers in your life in terms of personal obligations such as taking care of family, children, or elderly parents. The barriers could be related to your professional life as well, especially if your career plan involves a career switch. It is important to recognize your barriers at this stage. List all possible barriers that could get in your way.

Once all the barriers are noted down, the next step is to write down how you would deal with each one of them. If your barrier is your family obligations, check with your spouse or relative if they could help or perhaps find a good babysitter to take care of your kids, etc. Daycare for adults or kids is also another option that you might want to consider.
