Where A Career Can Really Take You

How do you feel about your job? Maybe you’re happy in the day to day, but you know you want more later on down the line? Maybe you’re unhappy with the day to day, and you’re looking for any reason to hop out and join in on something new? Maybe you’re not too fussed in the moment, you’re just here to make yourself some money? Whatever it is that motivates you when it comes to your working ambitions, maybe it’s time to give them a rethink?

If you’re someone who’s looking to turn 2019 into the year of you and your successful career, then now’s the time for you to think about where your job can really take you. There are all kinds of opportunities out there - which ones will you grab by the horns? Let’s examine these aspirations below.

Could You Travel?

Travelling is something people don’t tend to think about as a serious career move, not when you’ve got a cushy office to work in 9 to 5, and an internet signal to make sure you can reach all your contacts whenever you need them! But when it comes to moving for work, there are a lot new and interesting (and potentially exotic) places you can go.

And you should take a chance like this with some enthusiasm and vigour. After all, not everyone gets to take an all expenses paid flight out to the other side of the world, meet all kind of high powered executives to network amongst and eventually impress, and then get to keep all this experience and all those contacts for more success down the line!

What Kind of People Can You Network With?

Speaking of networking, one of the best ways to make sure your career is taking you somewhere is to build yourself a reliable web of contacts, and constantly play on the strings leading out to each one to make sure you’ve got some strong relationships with them. You need their help, they could need your help, and doing favours every now and then only increases the exposure of your name in the right circles.

So make sure you’re building yourself a strong social networking presence, using sites such as LinkedIn, and even a blog of your own, and always be available for working relationships that spring up as a result.

What Career Branches Could You Consider?

You like the job you’re currently working in, but you know it could be better, and you’re starting to see a dead end on the horizon. You don’t want to leave, but you know you need to make a change - see what careers branch off of the one you’re dedicating yourself to. There are all kinds of offshoots and new departments opening up every day in the working world, and one of them might just be the path that’ll take you where you want to go.

Your career can take you all over the world!

And until next time...
