It’s okay if things didn’t turn well in your career this past year. You still have entire 2018 with fresh pages to write your grand success stories on.
If you’re struggling in your professional life with fewer opportunities, poor pay and that dead-end feeling, here are 5 important questions you must ask right away to change things up and build a more successful and fulfilling career in 2018:
1. Do I Even Like This Job?
This is the single most important question you should ask to yourself. If you’re not satisfied with how your career is right now, it could mainly be because of your current job. If that is really the case, it’s time now to leave your current employer and go after what you believe would take your career satisfaction level higher.
2. Am I Looking at The Wrong Goals in My Career?
It’s a big problem among young graduates. Most of them, instead to focusing on the journey and destination, focus on the wrong goals, which are basically money and corporate reputation. Are you looking at the wrong goals too? Fix it, if yes!
At this young stage, it is opportunities you should be looking for. You should be focusing on the learning process and not the money.
3. What Skills I Have That Companies Would Pay High for?
This is a subtle way of asking do I even deserve it? You have your own expectations and wishes. But are you really good enough to turn them into realities? You need to ask this tough question.
Because let’s admit it every company, big or small, would want an employee who have a special set of skill, someone who brings something unique on the table. What’s that unique thing you’re bringing for your potential clients? If nothing, you better start working on establishing a USP for yourself.
4. Am I a Part of Latest Trends?
Are you enrolled in business analytics training courses? Have you taken any advanced certificate program in business analytics? If no, you’re certainly not in sync with the latest trends. You have got to do what’s “latest” in the job market, what the employers are looking, what other candidates are doing all to be competitive.
These are 4 important questions you should ask yourself today to steer your career towards success in 2018.
