Is It Time For Your Annual Career Check-Up?

Often, a lot of people don’t consider their career plans as they should-I’ve learned as a professional career coach. Take a few minutes to look back on the past year. Why not gain some perspective on what you’ve accomplished and learned? A wonderful career coaching exercise is conducting a personal annual career review provided that you look at the big picture. Annually, your career check-up should touch on how you want to live your life and issues close to you. Also, it should include creation of a plan for the next year

Eight questions to ask yourself during your personal annual career review:

1. How happy have I been with my job?

2. How have I been with my personal life? Happy?

3. With what I do for myself: How happy have I been?

4. Did I do something that expresses my most strongly held values regularly?

5. If I could change one thing about my job, what would it be?

6. What of my life did I leave out that I wish was there?

7. I admire a person whose life is?

8. What should your career game plan look like for the next year?

A positive end has a good goal. It should be something you want, not something you think you should do or hate. One of those goals that sounds nice is “I am going to exercise more.” But this will end up on the back shelf undoubtedly. Instead, set goals like: “I will walk for 30 minutes three times a week. I am going to find exercise of some kind that I enjoy.”

A strategy should move you toward something good that you find fulfilling, enjoyable, productive, and rewarding. What especially do you find fulfilling in your life? What makes you lose all sense of time that you do? Increasing what you find meaningful in your life can have a significant positive benefit for people around you and for you.

A good strategy should move you away from things and people you find unproductive, unfulfilling, meaningless or unrewarding. What do you hate doing and who do you not enjoy talking on the phone with? What in your day feels like a waste of time? If you learn to decrease what you find unrewarding in your life, you will give yourself a sense of internal control over what happens to you.

While change is difficult, you “can” lead the life you desire and make your goals a reality. Do not hesitate to contact a professional career coach for support and guidance, and remember to take baby steps toward your goals. Hiring a career coach can help you decide on what is most important; it is a smart investment. We work with you to achieve your goals.
