G is for growth and goals.
We couldn't decide which word was more appropriate, so for the letter G, we are going to cover 2 topics.
In letter A we covered career advancement, and now we are covering career growth. Are they the same thing? The simple answer is no. They are very different. Career growth depends on career advancement. Career advancement are the things you do for yourself, whether that is attend CPD sessions to continually improve your skills and knowledge. Career growth then comes when you have enough knowledge and experience to be able to take the next step, whether that is within your current company or whether that requires a move to another company.
When we speak about goals, we mean the targets that we set ourselves to achieve career growth.
The goals are usually the reason we take part in career advancement which will lead with career growth. Goals are often more achievable when they are based over a shorter term. A good way to look at goals and to set them, is by ensuring that they are SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound. Career goals are often asked about during an interview and so it is important that you know what your goals are.
