All articlesIf you’re asked where you want to be in the next 5, 10 or 15 years in your career, would you have a ready answer, or would you stutter?
If you have a career plan, the answers won’t be farfetched. But if you don’t, you will definitely stutter and this article is for you. Having a career plan is as important as having a career itself. There’s a need to plan for the future and not just go to work every day with no direction, hence, repeating the same process.
According to Schermerborn, Hunt, and Osborn, “Career planning is a process of systematically matching career goals and individual capabilities with opportunities for their fulfilment.”
It is more about preparing oneself for the future and having the necessary tools needed to navigate this journey. The main purpose is to provide you with a roadmap for your future that’ll help you make well informed decisions about your career, and also future career moves. A solid career plan will help you stay focused and motivated.
