Career Goal Setting: Your
First Step in a Job Search
Career goal setting is your very first
step for a successful and fruitful life and your first step in your job
search. Success, though, is subjective; it depends on your definition
on what it is. You might already have thought of a goal at the
beginning of your career and have a vivid vision of where you're headed
exactly.
Or, perhaps, you’re already in the middle of your career, and
you feel that you seem not to be going anywhere, or you’re
always in doubt if you have chosen the right career.
Do any of these sound familiar to you? This is a sign that a career
goal setting plan is in order. But, before you begin, be sure to figure
out first what you want to happen in your career. Take the time to sit
down and list all your goals and aspirations, and craft a chart to see
whether you are near or far from any of these goals.
For others, career goal setting is no more than a few minutes of
talking it out with some friends, or silently thinking about it, albeit
melancholy, over a bottle of beer. But the best way of setting your
career goal is during your most rational periods. After all, what you
are about to set is a career goal that either will spell disaster to
your life, or will bring endless blessings.
Here are some suggestions on how you should go about it with your job
search.
1. Be clear on what you want to be.
There’s nothing more annoying than a person trying to tell
you something, yet you can’t understand what he's talking
about. The same goes for your inner self. Being indecisive is
frustrating and feeding this habit will only be futile to your quest of
searching for job answers.
The more detailed you are with your plans, the better. Instead of
writing down "Own a car in two years", you will find that writing "Buy
a Silver Ford Escape by September 2008" is more helpful. Douse that
inner critic at this stage. Just go on and write your goals down.
2. Verbalize your plan.
The more you talk about your plan, the greater self motivation you will
get. If you want to discuss it with friends, do so. They will be able
to help you make a decision. Just remember, however, that it is
ultimately your decision because it is YOUR life. Don't let others
decide for you.
3. Come up with alternatives.
You’ve got to have an alternative route in your job search
for reaching your career goal. Sometimes, the road that
you’ve decided to embark on is simply impassable. But this
should not deter you. Instead, try to look for every possible angles to
push your journey.
The most important thing you have to consider is that the process of
attaining your career goal is a journey. When you are in a journey, you
are open to almost everything, every stimulus, every possibility.
This in turn will enrich you during the job search journey. You can use
all the information you get along the way to assess and re-assess your
career, and review, from time to time, your earlier career goal, and
make improvements, revisions, or additions, as needed.
The abovementioned guidelines should suffice, but there is something
more that would help you more in your career goal setting plan:
You must learn to love yourself!
