Finding the right direction for your career
Sometimes your career can feel a bit like driving to a new destination where your satnav is taking you the long way around. It can be annoying and frustrating but if you take the same journey again, this time you will know the shortcuts.
We often worry about making the wrong choices and decisions in life, especially when it comes to our career. Sometimes clients will say, I made a mistake taking this job or I am not sure whether to accept this offer. Or I know I want a change, but don’t know what that is or how to find out.
And while nobody wants to go down the wrong path, in the end whatever path you take you end up learning something you wouldn’t have otherwise known which helps you in your next role or the one after that. Even a job you don’t particularly like is giving you clues about what you do want.
And when you look back on those roles, there will be things that you have learnt that have taken you to where you are now. Sometimes, it’s a case of if I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have been able to do this.
Nothing is certain in life and the only way we grow and develop is experience. So, if you are in a job you are not enjoying, don’t look on it as a mistake, view it as an experience and think about what things you can take away from it to your next role. And if you are looking for help to navigate that journey, get in touch and let’s see how we can get you back on the right path.
