How to make a career
1. think about what you want
Start by sitting down and thinking carefully about what you want and how you want to pursue your career. Do you want to pursue a career within the company you are currently working for or perhaps move to a competitor? Do you want to change roles or maybe even change industries? Write down your thoughts and set goals for your future career.
2. career planning
Career planning is partly related to tip 1, to think about what you want. The purpose of career planning is to find your path to a career, whether it is within the company or at a new one. Unik Resurs offers an individualized career program where we give you as an employee the opportunity to find your new career. If it is at a new company, we make sure that you and your employer part in a dignified way where everyone is happy.
3. Have a conversation with your manager
If you are happy and want to progress in your workplace, one tip is to have a conversation with your manager. Explain that you would like to develop in your role and take on more responsibility. If you are not happy, your manager can become aware of the problems and together you can find a good solution to increase your well-being.
4. become an expert
By getting to grips with your work and becoming the best at what you do, you will be the person people come to for answers. This will allow you to take on more responsibility and become an increasingly important part of the company. When you have expertise and people in the company rely on it, it becomes natural to climb the ladder and make a career.
5. Networking is key
Networking and making contacts is probably the easiest way to build a career. Attend industry events and be active on social media sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook. It is often through contacts that you can be considered for a new job. If you are available and show yourself, there is also the possibility for you to be headhunted, which is often used when recruiting managers and specialist roles.
6. Get a mentor to bounce ideas off
Getting help from an expert can help you sort out your thoughts and structure your path towards a career. This could be a career coach, for example, or someone who has gone through the process of making a career themselves. Start by asking around in your circle of acquaintances to find people who could coach you. You can also search on social media and don’t be afraid to contact people who can provide valuable advice. Keep in mind that you can also talk to your managers at your current job and ask them to coach you on your career journey. At Unik Resurs, we have several consultants who specialize in careers and can guide you through this process.
7. take a training course
Taking a training course is an effective start to a career. You can choose to take individual courses to gain skills that you lack, or take a whole program if you want to change industries, for example. Many companies also offer in-house training if you want to climb the corporate ladder. Many programs also include an internship, which is a good way to get into a company.
What does it mean to make a career?
What it means to make a career can be different things but most often people talk about advancing in some way in their workplace. This can range from being able to do more specialized and difficult tasks to taking on completely different types of tasks. The purpose of a career is usually to develop both personally and within your role, and to enable you to take on more responsibility and thus increase your salary.
Why pursue a career?
Why do you want a career? The reasons for pursuing a career naturally differ from person to person. Some are driven by the desire to earn more money and achieve a higher status in the workplace while others want to focus on developing themselves. Whatever your reason, there are many ways to achieve your career goals.
