Hey guysđââď¸ Welcome to chapter 2 of the Level Up career series: SMART goals.
So, in the last chapter you established your long-term career aims. Today is all about creating a plan to ensure you achieve those aims (using SMART goals).
SMART goals are:
đSpecific – What is your long-term career aim? Donât just name a field like Marketing… specify exactly what type of Marketing positions you want to apply for.
đMeasurable – Numbers are key here. How many interviews do you want to attend each month? How many job applications per day will you commit to?
đAchievable – If youâre lacking experience, you may have to factor in some time to complete a course or a certification. Equally, it may be more achievable to aim for less experienced positions if youâre entering into a new field.
đRelevant – Is your overall goal relevant to where you want to go in the long-term? Remember, this is all about ensuring youâre still working towards your long-term career aims ready for when the job market picks up.
đTime-specific – When do you want to achieve this long-term career aim? Be sure to factor in any courses youâll need to complete too!
Once youâve finished your SMART goal, you might end up with something like this:
âBy December 2021, I will have a new job as a Marketing Assistant for the tech industry. In order to achieve that, I will complete a course in Adobe Photoshop and digital marketing by February 2021. I will also attend 2 interviews per month and apply for 10 jobs everyday.â
