The document discusses the importance of setting clear career goals and the steps required to achieve them, both in the short and long term. It emphasizes the necessity of being specific, measurable, realistic, and action-oriented when defining these goals and encourages individuals to share their plans and visualize success. Additionally, it highlights the importance of organizational skills and personal growth in navigating college and career paths effectively.

YOURSELF

3. A career goal is a well-defined
statement explaining the profession
that an individual intends to pursue
throughout his career. It is important for
every employee or job seeker to define
their career goals clearly. It helps them
to come up with effective action plans.

4. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to
disappointment. But that does not
mean that one should avoid formulating
career goals altogether. Creating
resolutions is the easiest way to keep
oneself motivated to achieve your
dreams.
CAREER GOALS

5. Setting career goals is an incredibly easy
process. All one needs to do is to set targets.
Consider a 17-year old who wants to become the CEO of a
large engineering company in the future. He must go through
several stages, the first being passing his 12th-grade exams.
After passing, the teenager will then enroll in a four-year
engineering course before moving to work in, for example, a
multinational company for at least two years. Next, he may
enroll in a management course from a reputable school.
Advancing his studies is a good idea to boost his chances of
getting the CEO position.

6. Short-term vs. Long-term Career Goals
As shown in the illustration above, there are short-
term and long-term goals. The teenager’s primary
objective is to become the manager of a company. In
order to get there, he needs to achieve his short-term
goals, which include passing his high school and
college exams, gaining experience by working for a
related company, and boosting his experience and
skills through further studies.
Short-term goals are those that can be achieved
within six months to three years. It may five years
or more to achieve long-term goals.

7. HOW TO SET CAREER GOALS
Defining career goals is just half the battle. An
individual must set their mind on accomplishing the
goals he or she has set. However, if one doesn’t
develop or map out their goals properly, it will
be harder to achieve them. When setting career
goals, an individual should ensure that they meet
the following criteria:

8. HOW TO SET CAREER GOALS?
1. Specific
When setting goals, an individual shouldn’t just focus on being
successful. Instead, he or she should define what success
means to them. The ultimate success for one person may just be
a milestone to achieving bigger goals for a different person. For
one individual, success may be becoming the Chief Executive
Officer for a company. For another, success can be attaining
financial freedom.

9. HOW TO SET CAREER GOALS?
2. Measurable
As one sets his or her career goals, they should ensure that they
also come up with a way to measure their outcome. This can be
done by setting a timeframe, such as “complete MAED degree
within three years”. Once the individual is able to attain the
short-term goals within the timeframe he or she sets, then
they’re on the right path to achieving their ultimate goal.

10. HOW TO SET CAREER GOALS?
3. Realistic
More than anything, an individual’s career goals must be realistic. It
wouldn’t make sense for an individual to set a goal of winning a Grammy
award if they’ve never performed or played an instrument.
On the other hand, the individual setting goals shouldn’t keep things too
simple. A career roadmap should be a challenge, not a walk in the park.
If the individual’s goals don’t make them a little bit uncomfortable, then
they should probably set higher limits.

11. HOW TO SET CAREER GOALS?
4. Tie Actions to Each Goal
For each set goal, a person needs to take certain measures to
achieve it. Listing the different activities that are needed to
achieve a goal makes the whole process easier.

12. 1. Write them down
It may seem like an old-school technique, but it’s
actually very effective. Based on several studies,
individuals who write down their career goals see a
higher likelihood of achieving them compared to
those who don’t.
There are several benefits to writing down one’s goals.
For one, an individual is forced to think critically on
how to achieve each goal.

13. Then the LORD replied:
“Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald[a]
may run with it.”
- Habakkuk 2:2

14. 2. Share the plan
Another perk of writing down career goals is
that it makes it easy to share them with friends,
colleagues, or even a manager. When an
individual discloses their short and long-term
career goals to other people, they feel more
challenged to follow them through to the end.

15. Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they
succeed.
- Proverbs 15:22

16. 3. Visualize Success
One thing that high achievers do is to visualize
their success. Sports psychologists often ask
their top athletes to envision themselves
crossing that finish line or kicking the field goal.
It’s the same concept with career goals. One
should think about all the steps they need to
reach their goal and plan for the setbacks that
they may encounter.

17. THE BOTTOM LINE
A career goal is all about setting short-term and long-
term objectives related to one’s career path. Setting
career goals is important, as it helps propel individuals to
accomplish them. This is particularly so when the person
shares their plans with a third party.

18. SHORT-TERM
GOALS

19. Short-Term Goals
There is a familiar saying that the longest
journey begins with a single step. To
achieve your long-term career goal, you
must set and work toward a continuing
series of short-term goals. These can be as
simple as a list of specific objectives that
you have present semester in college.

21. Short-Term Goals
You can help yourself succeed in
your present semester of College by
setting a series of personal and
study goals. The goals must be
honest ones that you choose
yourself – goals that you truly intend
to work on and that you have time
to achieve

22. Short-Term Goals
If necessary, you can change or add
to your goals as needed. What
matters is that you have a series of
definite targets that will give you
direction and motivation during the
semester. A list of specific goals will
help you do the consistent work that
is needed for success

STRATEGIES

25. 1. Be Realistic
Be realistic about how college will
help you get a job. Some students
believe that once they have a
college degree, the world will be
waiting on their doorsteps, ready to
give them a wonderful job. But the
chances are that, unless they’ve
planned, there will be nobody on
their doorstep.

26. 2. GET ORGANIZED
One of the problems that can start a
student off in the wrong direction is
failing to get organized right at the
beginning of the semester. Even a
disorganized first day – just one day
– can set a negative tone for the
semester and it might continuously
roll over
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

27. 2. GET ORGANIZED
To help you do this, here are some
following checklist of important items:
2.1 Remember the first meeting of any class
is crucial. Bring 2 pens a notebook with you,
for many instructors not only distribute
basic information about assigned textbooks
and requirements – they also start lecturing
the first day
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

28. 2. GET ORGANIZED
2.2 Don’t’ put off getting your books,
even if you have to wait in a long, boring
line at the bookstores. You will need your
books right away if you don’t want to fall
behind, so make the sacrifice
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

29. 2. GET ORGANIZED
2.3 Have a specific place at home for all
your school materials. In other words, have
some kind of headquarters. All school-
related materials should be kept
somewhere convenient for you – a desk, a
worktable, a closet, or a corner. This kind of
basic organization makes a difference

30. 2. GET ORGANIZED
2.4 Find out, early in the semester, the
names and phone numbers of some
students in the class. If you have some of
your classmates’ phone numbers or
Facebook, you can find out what happened
in class and get the notes or assignments
you missed

31. 2. GET ORGANIZED
2.5 Decide, right from the start, how much
work you can handle

33. 2. GET ORGANIZED
To sum up, there seem to be two kinds of
students – the ones who have a mature,
professional attitude toward being a
student and the ones who act like children
who have be taken care of.

34. 3. Know How You Learn
If you recognize your own learning style,
you can take advantage of it – whether that
style emphasizes hearing, touch, sight or
another sense or combination of senses.
Don’t think your style is wrong if it
happens to be a different from your
schoolmates! The important thing is
whether it works for you
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

35. 4. Persist
The older we get, the more we see that life
visits some hard experiences on us. There
are times for each of us when simple
survival becomes deadly serious matter. We
must then learn to persist – to struggle
through each day and wait for better times
to come
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

36. 5. Grow
People don’t have much choice about
whether to grow in their lives. Not to be
open to growth is to die a little each day.
Grow or die – it’s as simple as that
LEARNING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES

37. IN CONCLUSION
Students should plan for realistic career,
get themselves organized, learn to persist
and open themselves to growth. In such
ways, they can help themselves find joy and
success in this perilous but wonderful world
of ours
