Only you can manage your career

The dynamic nature of today's workplace means that it is imperative for an individual to be in charge of their own career. Career management used to be an endeavor that only the top management used to need to do. But working in today's global workplace means that everyone needs to be assessing the trajectory and scope of their careers to ensure their competitiveness and employability.If you have languished in a technical position for several years too many, you can be in danger of being let go due to lack of advancement in your technical expertise alone. Decide to take stock of the situation by assessing the direction you want to change in terms of a career and started applying elsewhere. In short order you can get some skills in other industries, if that is what you are seeking. Similarly, for anyone in today's workforce, managing one's career is like managing all other aspects of one's life such as personal finances, personal relationships, personal health and more. The watchword is vigilance, which means taking stock of where you stand not just in relation to your company, but perhaps more so you career as a whole, so that you don't start stalling in key areas and paying heavy fines down the road as a result of personal neglect.
