Do you have a strategic career plan?  Do you know where you want to be one year from now?  How about 3, 5 and 10 years from now?  Now is a great time of year to conduct a “career audit.”  A career audit is your opportunity to assess how your professional life is going.  It allows you to identify what is going well and areas in which you’d like to adjust
course.

To the next step in your career audit is to decide what elements of your career could be improved and what you’d like to change.

Specifically, write down the following:

Three things you want *more* of in your current your job
- and -
Three things you want *less* of in your current your job

For example:
In your current job, you may want more:
*  Challenging assignments
*  Feedback from your boss
*  Time off

On the flip side, you may want less:
*  Conflict with a certain person
*  Miscommunication within your team
*  Overtime and late hours

Until next week…
