Do you know the difference between a “job” and a “career”? Many people believe that choosing a job and choosing a career are the same; however they are different. A career is a vocation in which talents and skills are expressed throughout a lifetime. There’s nothing wrong with having and being content with doing a job. Not everyone wants a career. However, every job you take is crucial to the development of your career.
A career action plan is a road map that will get you from where you are now to a desired future point in your career. The more specific a career action plan, the more effective it will be toward goal achievement. A career action plan includes a career goal, steps you will take to reach it, barriers to achievement, and key success factors.
