THINK ABOUT POSITIVE CAREER GOALS FOR 2010

As the year comes to a close, it is a good time to start thinking about goals for the New Year. Goals target areas you want to improve and are especially helpful for career success and career advancement.

What do you hope for next year?

• Do you need to find a job following a layoff or downsizing?
• Do you want to find a new, more rewarding career?
• Do you need to improve your skills to keep your current job or advance in it?
• Do you have your sights set on a higher-level position than you currently hold?
• Are you looking for more satisfaction in your current position and your career?

These are all considerations you will want to keep in mind as you begin to formulate goals for 2010. In addition, you will want to review your 2009 goals and see where you need to adjust them.
