Career Planning Tips That Work
January 15th, 2011 | 
Author: After teaching career planning for several years, I Shrunk the process of finding a career to the next steps that anyone can use, in any field, to increase their chances of finding work that will take up paid employment and personal development.
1. YOUR determine the values: In other words, what is important to you? Do you value freedom? Do you like the autonomy? Or work as a team member? Do you like structure? Or lack of structure? Working long hours? Or a flexible work schedule? Want a job with a salary important? Or a job that offers the value of your life.
2. KNOW strengths in research, the study shows that the real key to success is to fully exploit our strengths, and avoid activities that expose your weaknesses. People have a tendency to make the mistake of trying to change weaknesses into strengths. These efforts are in vain. My time is used for the cultivation and use of the strengths that are the foundation of your basic skills.
3. YOUR assess skills: In my class, I have my students use what I call a tree model of basic skills. The objective of this program is to bring their elders (for example, stronger, more developed, more commercial, etc) the skills that the trunk (basic skills) and the rest of his abilities (skills and support secondary) branches. This exercise was very effective in identifying the most viable skills that one brings to the table.
