Your CAREER  –

“What you  want to be is more important than what you are.”

         There is nothing like a dream to help you plan your future.

         Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you what to be.    

         New jobs go to those who update their qualifications,  master new skills, and to people that are known and respected. 

A Handful of Tips to help you improve your career

* Learn new skills

         Things are changing. It’s essential to adapt to new ideas and technologies – especially communication skills.

         Commit yourself to a life of ongoing personal development.        

         Attend courses and workshops. Read, and study widely.

         Learn a new language.

         Qualifications and new skills are easy to carry around.

* Accept new roles

         To feel the exhilaration of success accept new challenges when they come your way.

         Never turn down a job because you are not sure if you can do it – how do you know until you try? Project an aura of confidence and give it a go.

          New experiences will help you move nearer to your goal.

* Build new networks

         Build your self-esteem by joining organizations and taking on responsible roles.

         Make fresh contacts by joining new organizations.          There are many cultural, educational, sporting and service clubs in most areas that would be worth joining.

         Find one that suits your interests and your needs.  

         Keep networking. Who you know can be more important than what you know.  

         Network at social events.    Ask direct and open questions. Use lead-ins such as…‘What do you think about….’   ‘Are you happy with …’ What would you do if you were in charge?

* Stay focused with to-do lists

         Set bold goals. Prepare a list of activities to be achieved, and set date for completion.

         Learn from people who inspire you.  See if you can get them to mentor, and coach you.

* Be ambitious

         Make your dreams come true by breaking your goals into short-term objectives.

Set time-limits.         

There is nothing like a dream to plan your future.

         We all work best when we challenge ourselves to deadlines, especially if we tell others about our plans.         

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
