What to do first?
The key in any career review and being able to move forward is to analyse your past and be honest with what was good and wasn’t so good so that you can plan your future career pathway. Ask yourself the following questions:-
1. Who are you?
2. What are your passions?
3. What are your skills?
4. What are your values?
5. What have been your career achievements to date?
6. What experience do you have?
7. What are you good at?
8. What don’t you like in a role?
To support this you could complete a personal SWOT analysis.
Some additional sites to assist you with this can be found via www.thecareerowl.co.uk/downloads.html
By working with me we will examine your interests, skills, experience and accomplishments to develop you and your brand. We will also look at potential barriers and plan to overcome them. Most important, you will learn the skills necessary to implement your plan.
