What Does Success Look Like in your Career?
Success means something different to everybody, not least of all in the context of jobs. Some people will want to earn a certain amount of money; some will want to get to a particular level of seniority; others will feel that have achieved their ambitions if they get to work within a certain industry that they feel passionately about.
Success is a very subjective thing and no two people will have the same career goals. In order to know if you have succeeded, and to be able to set yourself future targets, you must have your career goals and targets clearly defined. Talk to managers and people in more senior positions to help establish your plan and to define your long-term goals. Once you know what these are, you will know if you have succeeded. Monitor these in the long term to ensure you keep achieving your very best – and update them if needed so that you stay ambitious!
