Are you worried you’re running in place when it comes to how your career is moving forward? While there is no one-size-fits-all way to instantly achieving your end goals, there are lots of ways that can help you put things in motion. Here are five tips to help you get back on track and accelerate in your career growth.
Make an Impression
Big moves in your career happen when you make an impression on decision makers. Whether it’s sharing a big goal you reach, an idea that will help the company profit, or even team productivity, be sure to always promote yourself and show what you have to offer, because you never know who might notice!
Continue to Develop Your Skills
After spending several years in a role, some people tend become comfortable, focusing more on just getting the work done and clocking out. But continuing to grow your skills and obtaining certifications will allow you to bring value to your role, helping you move ahead. Not to mention, the skills you learn are great to put on your resume to stand out against others.
Know What You Want
To grow in your career means knowing what you want your career to look like. This doesn’t mean you need to have every single step in your path perfectly planned out. It just means you need to know what you do and don’t want. If you’re taking too many detours because it seems convenient, you might not end up at your destination.
Be Open with Leadership
Talking with your manager or leaders about your goals is a great step to kicking your career growth into high gear. You are an extension of your leader, and they want to see you succeed. When you’re open about what you’re after, they can help point you in the right direction of people and resources to get you there.
Don’t be Afraid to Leave
If you have a goal or vision of where you want your career to go, and you feel as though your current company doesn’t have the resources to get you there, then it’s okay to look for other opportunities. While it might be tough to leave coworkers and a place you know well, it’s difficult to grow in your career if you continue to work somewhere that doesn’t challenge you.
While it’s easy to compare yourself to others about how you’re progressing in your career, it’s important to remember that you need to be patient because no two people are alike, and everyone has different backgrounds and obstacles. Taking active steps towards your goals is what will put you ahead. If you’re looking for help in making that next step in your career, AurStaff can help you. Contact a recruiter today!
