4 Tips for Setting and
Achieving Career Goals

2. 1. Work backwards from your end goal
 When setting professional goals, begin with your
final destination in mind and then work backwards.
Once you know where you want your current
position or overall career to go, list out the steps that
will ultimately lead you to your end goal.

3. 2. Get detailed
 Break your larger goal down into small, specific,
quantifiable, realistic and timely goals. Also ensure
that you have deadlines attached to each one to make
sure you stay on track.

4. 3. Put them in writing
 This may seem old-school, but it's a very effective
practice. You want to write down your goals so you
can remember them and hold yourself accountable
for accomplishing them.

5. 4. Enlist your manager's help
 Accountemps found that only 25 percent of survey
respondents met with their managers once a week to
get performance feedback, and 26 percent met with
their managers monthly. Steinitz noted that goal
progress discussions shouldn't wait for the annual
performance review. Instead, employees and
managers should discuss this topic more frequently
so any challenges in meeting goals can be addressed
earlier.
