Career goals are targets you set for yourself to guide your future career. They can be long-term or short-term goals that will motivate you to move toward a promotion, a better paying job or even a complete change in direction.
To be successful in your work and life in general, developing a strategic plan to guide you through setting achievable career goals is essential.
Be Specific – If you want to earn more money, write down how you plan to do it. It could be by advancing your education, learning new skills or even just becoming more productive.
Make sure your goals are Measurable. Figure out a way to measure your outcomes. Set a timeframe to accomplish a target within.
Your goals should be realistic and Attainable, making the process so much easier. Why put extra pressure on yourself to achieve the impossible?
Set goals that are Relevant to who you are and what you are good at. If you are a public accountant and set your goals to be an entertainer, this career path may not match your skills and lead to frustration and failure.
