• Career planning is an ongoing process that can help
you manage your learning and development.
• It is the combination of structured planning and the
active management. It is a choice of one's own
professional career.
• The outcome of successful career management
should include personal fulfillment, work/life
balance, goal achievement and financial security.
What is Career Planning?

ranging from semi-skilled through skilled, and semi
professional to professional.

What is your Career Goal?

talents and abilities.

Development

• Short term goals:
Short term goals (one or two years) are usually specific
and limited in scope. Short term goals are easier to
formulate. Make sure they are achievable and relate to
your longer term career goals.
• Intermediate goals:
Intermediate goals (3 to 20 years) tend to be less
specific and more open ended than short term goals.
Both intermediate and long term goals are more
difficult to formulate than short term goals because
there are so many unknowns about the future.
Types Of Goal

 Long term goals (Over 20 years), of course, are the
most fluid of all.
 Lack of life experience and knowledge about
potential opportunities and pitfalls make the
formulation of long term goals very difficult.
 Long range goals, however, may be easily
modified as additional information is received
without a great loss of career efforts because of
experience transfer from one career to another.

Tips for Career Planning:

12. 12
Life-long learning is your keyword.
• The world is constantly changing, and everybody is
looking for new ways of doing business.
• If you have decided that your current skills are good
enough, you have also decided that your current job
is good enough.
• But if you want a career in the future, you should
add regular updates to your skills and knowledge.
Never Stop Learning

13. 13
A good listener can learn a lot.
• Listen to your co-workers, your boss, and your superiors.
You can learn a lot from their experience.
• Ask about issues that interest you, and listen to what they
say. Let them tell you about how things work,
and what you could have
done better.
Ask, Listen And Learn

14. 14
Your current job might be
best place to start your career.
• It is often very little that separates successful
people from the average. But nothing comes free.
• If you do your job well and fulfill your
responsibilities, this is often the best way to start a
new career.
• Suggest improvements. Offer your help when help
is needed. In return ask for help to build a better
career.
Fulfill Your Current Job

15. 15
Your next career step might arise
from your contact network.
• Did you know that more than 50% of all jobs are
obtained from contact networks?
• Spend some time building new contacts, and
don't forget to maintain the ones you already have.
• One of the best ways to get serious information
from your network is to regularly ask your contacts
how they are, what they do, and what is new about
their careers.
Build Your Network

16. 16
Your current job should be identified, not assumed.
• Make sure you don't work with tasks you assume
are important. This is waste of time and talent.
• When you start in a new job, talk to your superior
about your priorities. If you're not sure about what
is most important, then ask him. And ask him again.
• Often you will be surprised about the differences
between what you assume, and what is really
important.
Identify Your Current Job

17. 17
Your dream job must be identified.
• Before you start planning your future career, be sure you
have identified your dream job.
• In your dream job, you will be doing all the things you
enjoy, and none of the things you don't enjoy.
• What kind of job would that be?
 Do you like or dislike having responsibility for
other employees.
 Do you like to work with technology or with
people?
 Do you want to run your own business?
 Do you want to be an artist, a designer
or a skilled engineer? A manager?
Identify Your Next Job

Your dream might show up tomorrow. Be prepared.
• Don't wait a second. Update your CV now, and
continue to update it regularly.
• Tomorrow your dream job may show up right
before your nose. Prepare for it with a professional
CV and be ready to describe yourself as a valuable
object to anyone that will try to recruit you.
• If you don't know how to write a CV, or how to
describe yourself, start learning it now.
Prepare Yourself

19. 19
Pick the tools you can handle.
• You can build your future career using a
lot of different tools.
• Studying at W3 Schools is easy. Taking a full
master degree is more complicated.
Pick The Right Tools

20. 20
Put your dreams into action.
• Don't let a busy job kill your dreams. If you
have higher goals, put them into action
now.
• If you have plans about taking more
education, getting a better job, starting
your own company or something else, you
should not use your daily job as a "waiting
station".
Realize Your Dreams
