Is It Time For Your Career Annual Check-Up?
As a professional career coach, I’ve learned that a lot of people don’t consider their career plans as often as they should. Why not take a few minutes to look back on the past year and gain some perspective on what you’ve learned and accomplished? Conducting a personal annual career review is a wonderful career coaching exercise provided that you look at the big picture. Your annual career check-up should touch on issues close to you and how you really want to live your life, and it should also include the creation of a plan for next year.
Ask yourself eight questions during your personal annual career review:
1. With my job: How happy have I been?
2. With my personal life: How happy have I been?
3. How happy have I been with what I do for myself?
4. Did I do something that expresses my most strongly held values regularly?
5. What is one thing I would change about my job if I could?
6. What do I wish was there that I left out of my life?
7. Who is a person whose life I admire?
8. What should your game plan for the next year of your career look like?
