From Live Well San Diego:
Want to turn your job into a meaningful career? Looking to buy a home or take a vacation? What steps can you take today, this month and in the next six months to get to where you want to be?
Setting short-term, action-oriented goals can help you incrementally accomplish a larger goal by allowing you to complete smaller tasks on a more achievable basis. Take 10 minutes to think about a long-term goal you would like to achieve. Then, outline at least three smaller tasks that can help you reach your goal.
As an example, possible short-term goals for creating a more meaningful career could include:
- Sign up to attend a career fair or networking event
- Participate in a career workshop to learn interviewing or resume-writing skills
- Volunteer or intern to get on-the-job training
- Take an online class or sign up for formal classes to get a certification or degree
- Schedule a meeting with your supervisor to create a plan for advancement
