2023 will bring challenges that we need to prepare for. And it's true that having a successful career is something everyone wants, but few do anything consistently to achieve it.
The tool to achieve this is to design and manage their own career plan.
Start with self-knowledge
Most of us have started our first job wherever the opportunity arises, but designing our working future, finding balance and being happier starts with individual knowledge. Knowing our strengths, what we are good at, what we enjoy doing is the beginning of building a successful career.
Over time, no matter how well you are paid or how much status a certain professional position gives you, you will end up hating your job if it is not related to your purpose.
Ask yourself: What skills am I good at and do people recognize it in me?Know the job market
It is quite common to see people who have been in a job for a long time, did not see the changes coming and lose their job when they least expected it.
If this happens to you, you will be bewildered and it will be more difficult to get a job again because you will have lost the practice of handling interviews, making a good resume and you will not even have more contacts than those of the company to which you no longer belong.
The only way to get, keep and grow in the job is to understand where business and consumers are moving. No matter what profession or role you have, international market trends will end up impacting all productive sectors.
I recommend that you keep up to date with the knowledge of your professional sector, seek out mentors, learn about other disciplines and learn how to manage your own career.
Ask yourself: What knowledge and skills is the labor market demanding?This is why you should be aware that every professional should work on it strategically and intentionally, communicating their values, how they can contribute to the organization and the results they have obtained in the past.
Finally, we recommend developing lifelong learning skills, which will allow you to adapt to changes in your environment, reinvent yourself and take control of your professional future.
