What is Career Planning? – Getting Started with Purposeful Career Planning

February 19, 2010

ChecklistIs it possible to plan your career? What is career planning, anyway? Is career planning worth it? Does career planning really help? All right, I’ll stop with the questions, since you probably get the gist of what I’m asking.

There are certainly numerous opinions on how effective career planning actually is. Without a doubt, we here at Career Action Now believe that career planning is worth it. Nonetheless, choosing to actively engage in career planning is an altogether personal decision that you, and only you, should get to make.

If you haven’t decided to engage in active career planning, that’s perfectly fine. But if you’re interested in taking some time to learn about the basics of purposeful career planning, I believe that it’ll be worth your while.

I’ll be making a series of posts consisting of my take on intentional career planning and will provide a basic outline on how you can begin career planning right now.

My next post in this series will provide a simple overview of purposeful career planning, as I’ll briefly cover the five basic steps to career planning.

Questions: What are your thoughts about career planning? What’s been your experience with career planning?

Thanks for reading.
