From time to time, your personal career development plan is at an impasse. Often this happens when you lose your job or are forced to resign for various objective and subjective reasons. If in your profession the race for jobs is very tense, and the labor market is oversaturated, then it is possible that you will have to make changes in the development of your own career or think about working in another field of activity.
- Education. List all your diplomas about education, certificates, advanced training and further (continuing) training. Include here your education in higher education institutions / universities, as well as other courses, trainings and seminars. Make a complete list of your "educational baggage". Now analyze all your experience, as well as the areas of activity in which you worked or with whom you are familiar. For example, you think you can manage a restaurant, since you have a number of seminars or trainings in the field of human resources development in your assets. Perhaps this will be a new option for the development of your career.
- An experience. Write down all your work experience in different positions and in different companies, list the main responsibilities, as well as those activities in which you have especially succeeded. For example, if most of your jobs were in the construction business, think about switching to interior and design work. Expand the field of activity. Analyze your inclinations and preferences, look for your own "zest".
- Volunteer work, hobbies and interests. Remember your work experience in areas where you already have certain skills. For example, at the university you were the leader of a tourist circle or the editor of a student newspaper, and you very much even succeeded in this. So why not think about further career in these areas. And suddenly, do you like to play with a jigsaw or embroider pictures at your leisure? Who knows, maybe this is your true vocation.
- Technical skills and work with equipment. Now list all the equipment with which you can work; especially if suddenly you have even a special training or professional skills that you have not used for a long time. Do you know how to work with woodworking tools, rare computer programs? Or are you an amateur radio operator? Believe me, you can gain a lot of experience in your life, just learn how to use it correctly. Write down for yourself what you own (equipment, tools), and also how long you worked with them, even if only as a hobby.
- Goals or dreams. Finally, write down everything you wanted or dreamed of doing. Here you can include all your unrealized desires and possible further actions in this area. For example, the desire to write: copywriting, journalism, editing texts. The desire to perform on stage: the theatrical community, amateur or even professional theater. Desire to be an orator: social work, civic activity, politics. Once you have determined your priorities, you may need to attend courses or master classes in this direction.
Knock yourself inside, realize your opportunities, both lying on the surface, and hidden. Try to plan the achievement of your personal goals. When a person aspires to something or wants something, the opportunity will necessarily knock at his door. So be ready to open the door to your future with confidence.
