We are more aware of some of the options that may be available to us. Choosing a change of occupation, a new training program or an area for development is an important decision. It’s a good idea to take a step-by-step approach developing alternatives, evaluating those alternatives for the best fit and making a choice. Once we’ve looked at all the options we’ve developed, we can also compare them to the interests, values, transferable skills, education and preferences we identified at the start of our self-assessment to help us determine the best fit.

Each individual needs to follow inner desires which capture what they truly want to do. Activities which are devoid of meaning and fulfillment are not worth pursuing in a career. Material items are not irrelevant in career decisions, as they contribute to comfortable lives. However, the pursuit of wealth to the exclusion of all else is a hollow race. Overall, individuals most embrace challenging goals, work hard, and strive for success. Individuals should pursue goals they consider important, satisfying, and fulfilling.

Although consideration of desires is important, career plans must be anchored in the reality of our abilities and skills. With knowledge of our skills and abilities, we can identify our current capabilities and competencies. Further, we can identify skills for development for specific professional challenges in the future. Life long learning requires continual assessment through to retirement.

Often individuals seek and accept positions for which they do not fit, possibly due to ego, a sense of urgency, status, economic pressure, or pressure from others. The lack of fit will typically lead to unhappiness, stress, and poor performance. Effective career management provides that we are competent, fulfilled, and satisfied by what we do over time. Career Fit implies that needs for growth and development can be satisfied in the position and that career identifies, vision, dominant career anchors, and needs can be fulfilled. Lack of fit necessitates a change in positions/roles, a refocusing of goals and ambitions, or acceptance of the consequences of a lack of fit. The consequences vary, but may include a profound sense of career failure. So, that’s all for now everyone ’cause still need to find a great deal on swimsuit for my little Sis as she was asking to buy her one. Hopefully, I can find one here. Have a great day everyone!…
