Career Development

Taking more Responibility in your Role

Today's workplace is competitive and cutthroat. With the recessionary pressures
growing, every worker is under previously unheard of levels of stress to both
prove their value and demonstrate their ongoing readiness to do more.

Top 5 Career Development Tips

Whether you're looking to move your career up to the next level or make a clean
break and try out a whole new career, presenting yourself as the consummate
professional will help others see you as you would like to be seen.

Here are the key things you need consider when you're looking to develop your
career.

How can I change my career?

Do you love your job? You should, and you certainly could. Although many people
complain about their work or see it as a necessary evil, it doesn’t need to be
that way. If you think you’d rather be somewhere else on a Monday morning, take
control and do something positive to change your situation.

How do I make my job relocation run smoothly?

Making the decision to relocate is a massive life change and it doesn’t just
affect you – your friends and family will all need to adapt to accommodate the
new situation.

Can a step back help my long-term career?

Climbing the corporate ladder isn’t the same as it once was. The days when working for the same company for decades have been replaced by an average of over six companies throughout a working life. What was once viewed as ‘job-hopping’ is now often regarded as ambition to advance one’s career - providing there aren’t too many jobs on your CV with short durations and no explanation.

When is it the right time to change jobs?

There are a lot of things to consider when deciding when and why to move on. To
begin with, you need to assess where you are now, what you have achieved and
where you want to be in a few years time.

What can I do to ensure a promotion?

Wanting to progress your career is natural, but actually doing so can be a
tricky business. Many people take the default position that getting a better job
means changing employer, but there are often great opportunities for progression
with your existing employer, and not just in the part of the company you
currently work in.
