I chose this topic because I have been talking to some colleagues who are currently experiencing some challenges in their careers. Having a career development plan would be really extremely useful for them right now.
I’ve always been a big planner. I live by my paper planners, journals, and Google calendar. In those seasons when I felt overwhelmed, disorganized, and unsure what I needed to be doing… it was always because I failed to plan.
Here are the 4 reasons why you need a career development plan right now. Having a plan is important so that you will:
know what next steps to take.
make better decisions when chance opportunities come up.
identify appropriate personal and professional development opportunities.
be able to get unstuck from a career rut, and help you prepare for when you are out of a job.
