National Careers Week is now on - May 15-21 and it presents a great time and reminder for everyone to think about their careers and open their eyes up to the opportunities within their chosen industries or beyond.
It is also the opportunity to acknowledge the pathway we have chosen so far and how it can shape our future. There is no right or wrong when it comes to your chosen career, just excellent lessons and experiences on which to build upon to follow our dreams.
Are you happy with your current work life balance, is there room for improvement, can you develop new skills? These are just some of the questions you may ask yourself. It might be time to write a list of professional goals to aim for in the short term. Or you might want to dream big and make plans to reach an even larger professional goal. Regardless, now is the time to make a start.
You also have a wealth of resources available to you to help guide you. Start with your immediate family, consider their careers and the pathways they undertook, their inspirations and also the opportunities they had available to them. Your friends, let them inspire you too, draw on their networks and knowledge. Don't stop there, google can help and can your local library or council chambers that can lead to job network providers.
