How to Create ACareer Plan
THAT REALLY WORKS
3
  • If you are a recent college graduate, or if you
    are looking to make a career transition, the most
    effective way to proceed is by creating a career
    plan.

4
  • Rather than formulating an idea in your head,
    write it out and keep a copy readily available to
    check your progress or to make adjustments along
    the way.

5
  • The following tips can help you develop a logical
    plan for pursuing your career goals.

6
Target your dream job
7
  • Decide what you want to do for the rest of your
    life. The ideal position may morph over time.

8
  • For example, you could begin your career as a
    general practice nurse and eventually specialize
    to become a nurse anesthetist.

9
  • Choose a career area, field, or industry where
    you would like to focus your professional
    efforts.

10
Inventory your credentials
11
  • Take stock of your achievements so far. Include
  • College degrees
  • Certifications and licenses
  • Extended learning, meritorious service as an
    employee or volunteer
  • Job skills mastered to date

12
  • You may be able to see patterns that will help
    you recognize your interests and strengths.
  • There's a good chance you would likely excel in a
    career that utilizes those qualities.

13
Acknowledge any weaknesses
14
  • Conversely, note any lacks or weaknesses in your
    professional development to date.

15
  • For example, if you would like to work as a
    foreign language interpreter but have not yet
    mastered any languages, you will have to address
    that need.

16
Set specific goals
17
  • Instead of writing that you want to have a career
    position within six months, for example, indicate
    which career field interests you, and what type
    of position you would like to have.

18
  • List steps you will take to reach your goal, such
    as
  • Applying for twenty jobs each week
  • Posting a job-related blog on social media
  • Volunteering in your chosen career field to learn
    new skills and meet relevant professionals.

19
Establish a timeline
20
  • Your timeline should be based on weekly and
    monthly career-oriented activities, not just
    long-term goals.

21
  • For example, you could tweet or blog three days
    weekly about an area of expertise, or you could
    apply for ten jobs a week.

22
  • You can also join a business group and attend
    monthly luncheons. You might plan to contribute
    an article to a trade publication every three
    months.

23
  • Make good use of your skill set to set and meet
    career objectives.

24
Identify related needs
25
  • Be realistic about monetary or time-related needs
    to address so that you can meet your goals. If
    you join a local business group, you might have
    to buy a professional outfit to wear.

26
  • Blogging or applying to jobs weekly might require
    ten hours or more of your time.

27
  • In addition, consider other reasonable needs that
    can help you meet your goals, such as seeking out
    a mentor or hiring a career coach for a few
    sessions.

28
Persevere
29
  • The important thing is to keep working at your
    job goals.

30
  • You may get frustrated or prospects may appear
    slim, but don't give up.

31
  • Success might be just around the corner when you
    send out that next batch of applications or
    schedule another interview.

32
  • Sometimes the best solution is to contact a
    recruiter and let them steer you to the perfect
    job.

33
  • Rhino Search Group is a financial advisor
    recruiting firm that has relationships with all
    the top firms.

34
  • Contact our financial advisor recruiters if you
    are looking to make a move, or buy/sell a book of
    business.
