052: Why focusing on your career right now is important
Have you ever considered when is the best time to focus on your career (it's development, prospects and possibilities)? Now... I'd say the answer is now ... and there's good reason for this.
"CAREER (according to the UK Career Development Institute) describes our journey through life, learning and work. We need actively to develop our careers to make the best of them. This process of career development takes skill as well as knowledge and the right attitude. Individuals need to work on career development skills throughout their lives."
With that definition, can you see why right now is a great time to focus on your career?
Topics covered in this episode include:
- Definition of career
- What career exploration night look like (at any age and stage)
- What 'long-term' career goals could encompass, practically speaking
- Whether you can change your mind
- Acknowledgement that career happiness and life happiness can go hand in hand
Whether you are entering sixth form, university, a year in industry, your first job after graduation or beyond - you'll recognise the importance of now when it comes to your career journey. Enjoy!
