A To Z of Career Success

We all want to have a successful career in life but only few of us are able to actually have this sense of achievement. Have you ever thought that why some people gets to achieve their goals while some people despite of doing hard work are not able to achieve what they wanted. 


I think people should have a clear set of goals from the start of their career-  "what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it". The first thing what you want varies from person to person. Some wants to become a doctor, engineer , teacher, manager or a businessman. It totally depends on your education, interests, skills, talent, knowledge, and values.


The second thing is how you can actually achieve success , for this you should consider all these key points below which can help you to realise your dream career. 

Keys to a successful career:-

(1) Manage:- Identify what you want in life, what type of job you really want to perform, what you want to become within 5-10 years.

(2) Don’t depend on others:- If you are dependent on your current employer to ensure your career success than this would be harmful for your career. Being dependent means that you have to act according to your boss, and you will not be able to take decisions for yourself.

(3) Take responsibility:-  If something goes bad, don’t go into a blame game. Take responsibility for your actions. Find out what went wrong and try to improve, so it does not happen again.

(4) Focus on your strengths :- Do what you are good at and what you have passion for.

(5) Establish a good reputation: -  Create a good reputation for yourself by keeping one or more job for a period of time. Changing your job constantly can lead to a bad reputation.

(6) Find a mentor: - Mentor can really help in achieving the career goals. Find someone who is the best in your field. Get in contact with him and try to learn from him.

(7) Create contacts:-  Make yourself known in your industry.

(8) Be in touch with your past employers:-  Going back to your past employer may be beneficial. You will get a job with more responsibility and increased pay.

(9) Never be unemployed:-  If you get fired, or laid off, volunteer immediately somewhere for something that puts your skills, knowledge and abilities to work. The longer you are unemployed, the more this will drain your energy and confidence.
