GPS for your Career Path
How to find the perfect career path? a GPS maybe?
Wouldn’t that be great though? Just work out where it is you want to go with your job, plug in the co-ordinates of where you are now, press navigate and off you go!! Off down the perfect career path.
We have just spent a few weeks travelling around the UK with our trusty GPS system and while its great when it does work, its shocking when it doesn’t. I think they should include surviving your relationship while driving in a strange country with a GPS in marriage guidance courses! (don’t even ask me about the time we tried to get from Switzerland to Munich Airport in time for our plane)
It does strike me though that navigating through our life in search of the perfect career path can be a lot like driving around a strange country with a GPS.
Let me tell you why,
Even if you have worked out exactly where you want to go, all it takes is one wrong turn and you’re getting the message…..”off route”, recalculating. Annoying as this may be, we often get to see parts of the country and towns that we wouldn’t otherwise see and enhance our experience. We may even completely change our minds as to where we are going.
Our perfect career path can be a bit like that. Even if we are pretty sure we know where we are going, but life can throw us some curve balls, or other options come up that we may want to consider. But we do still need to have a strong idea of where it is we want to end up. Otherwise we may just wander all over the place and not get anywhere we want to go. Or we may not get anywhere at all.
So the trick it seems, is to work out where you want to go in the first place. And then set your Career GPS system and get going. Don’t just sit in the driveway all day. Life is much more interesting than that!
