A good career tip is to not become discouraged with your current career just because you don't like the job that you are currently employed in. If your job is making you unhappy then you should examine opportunities within your current career path instead of changing path completely. The time you have spent in your job has not been wasted and all that experience and learning will benefit in another job of similar expertise.

Another great career tip is to have a plan for your professional development. If you approach your development in a haphazard way then you could end up just about anywhere; including somewhere you really don't want to be.



A career plan allows you to set out your goals and hopes and match these with all that you will need to achieve to reach this. Your main goal may be quite intimidating but if you break it down into small targets which will move you towards this final goal then you will surely be onto a winner. Try and keep your goals and targets realistic but don't undersell yourself either; you can achieve a lot if you put your mind to it.

Stay interested and up-to-date in your chosen career. Staying in a job that bores you to death is the road to misery. If you take an interest in your job then your job will seem interesting. You should consider training to be a life-long enterprise and not something that finishes when you start your career. Subscribe to professional journals which deal with your field of expertise, and stay up to date with all the changes and developments in your area.

The most important career tip is to not become stuck in your ways and be afraid of change. This is a necessary part of life and clinging to the past is going to make life unbearable. Things in your area of expertise are going to change and you would be wise not to resist this too much.
