Ask for career advice
Asking for advice from knowledgeable sources is possibly the best way to form a career plan.
- Rely on the advice of people who have done it before. This could be someone internal in your organization or someone outside of it.
- Professional networking groups can be a great tool in syncing you up with others in your industry. However, don’t just rely on those. Surfing around LinkedIn can also be a great way to get in touch with the right people.
- If you applied for a job and didn’t get it, try to ask for advice and look for reasons why they didn’t hire you. This can give you direction on what to work on for the next time around.
