Editor's Notes
- We were all asked this when we were kids. So, What was your answer? mine was a Math Teacher and then someday a Professor of Mathematics. When did that change? Do people really know what they want to be? Do you have to set goals when you are young? Do those goals change over time?
- You can google that question and quickly get many sites that offer advice. Here are a few that stuck out to me and some notes from them.
- MIT’s Career Planing site 1 - examine your interests, skills, values 2 - what is most important 3 - compare promising options 4 - is this field in demand, can I make money? 5 - choose the one best for you 6 - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound 7 - create specific steps to get there 8 - meet with someone who can help you
- Craven Community College Career planing site many colleges have similar sites with basically the same steps.
- Article from theguardian.com Think about where you’re going and then communicate Find advocates Challenge yourself, but remain authentic build confidence Let go of perfectionism
- we need to create opportunities to learn X and gain experience in Y to get to position Z
- over most of my life this is how I felt about my career sometimes it seemed that nothing went as I planned.
- Then, a couple of friends and I read this book. That’s when the light bulb came on. So how do you plan your career/life?
- First of all you don’t have to do it by yourself. It’s ok to ask for help
- First, figure out what things in your life you can’t control Health Issues for example (like knee surgery)
- What things can I control? Focus on the things you can control Your choices, for example
- Write down what you do each day and make note: Why are you doing the things you are doing? What makes it worthwhile? What gives you energy? What do you look forward to? What drains you? What activities do you loathe?
- Where can you find these people?
- Ask people you are already acquainted with what they do Attend a new meet up ask people here at the conference
- Why do they do what they do? What does the job really involve? What do they like? What do they hate?
- Why do they do what they do? What does the job really involve? What do they like? What do they hate?
- At least once a year do this all over again Do it more often if you become unhappy What do you want out of life?
