Create Your Personal Career Vision
Nick Head - Audit Staff
In a recent article from JobsintheMoney, Steve Bohler discusses the importance of what he calls a “personal career vision.” The bottom line is, to be successful and love your work - you will need more than a job. So, before you focus on your resume, job hunting and networking, take some time to create your own personal career vision.
Now the question is, what is this so-called personal career vision? Well, Steve simply states it as a tangible blueprint of the direction you want your life to take. This will help you gain a better understanding of who you are and what you really want out of your life and career. This information is the raw materials you need to create a “masterpiece of a career and life.”
Your personal career vision will be a plan for exactly the type of work you should be doing, based on information about what you are naturally good at, what you want, and what you think is worth doing.
