Many school (high school/university) leavers ask themselves one popular question which is what next? The very popular "what next" question embodies a lot of sub questions such as what kind of job do i search for? or will i find a job that in my majors that will make me successful.
But to plunge into the career world and life, key moves have to be made else you'd be miserable trust me. Some would probably be successful along the way, but rather than leave yourself to chance, wouldn't it be better to know where you are going from the beginning of your journey? Here are some successful, useful, tested and trusted moves you can make as you begin your career life. If you've already started and don't seem to be making a headway, this will work for you too.
Determine your destination
If you don't know where you are going to, you'd probably walk around aimlessly. The same applies in the career journey. You must have a clear vision of what you want to be in a couple of years, a supervisor, an MD, a HR Manager, an entrepreneur take a pick and determine what you want to be.
Determine when you want to become what you've chosen to become in your career life
It may sound unrealistic. But many successful career executives knew what they want to become in their career life and have a near idea of when this will happen. You see life responds to what you sincerely demand for. This point is not unrealistic. This is one of the elements of working SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound). Specific (determining what you want to become), Measurable (set a target). They say if you aim for the skies you'd probably not get there. But if you aim for the moon, you will go beyond the sky. So aim high. Never under estimate your innate abilities. You can truly become what you decide to be. So what do you want to be?
