Manage Your Career

You have a job, so you can stop thinking about your career, right? Actually, getting a good job is just one part of developing your career. Even if you intend to (or actually do) stay at one job your entire work life, you will deal with transitions in your job responsibilities and job security, be expected to keep up-to-date with changes in your profession, and benefit from continued learning. It's also important to continually evaluate your career goals. You've completed the steps to assess yourself, explore career options, gain skills, and find a job. If, at any time, you decide to change jobs, you will likely go though some or all of these steps again. This is true whether you choose to stay on the same career path or explore a new one.
