Another year is behind us and many of us look ahead to exciting changes in the new year. Typical resolutions are: “I will exercise more; I will lose ten pounds or I will finish my degree”.
To those of you who respond “I want a new job or career direction in 2015” I’d ask you “Do you have a Career Plan?” The most common response I hear is “Well, no but that’s a good idea. Where do I start?”
Don’t fall victim to “Ghosts of Jobs Past” (sorry; I couldn’t help myself from making the correlation of past jobs to ghosts of Christmases past as in the Christmas Carol. Even though you may have not reached your career goals or have even had some negative career experiences, you can wipe the slate clean, just like Scrooge, and pursue a new life and, in this case, a new career.
