How to do Career planning during the job……9 Golden Rules

1. Learning : Learning must be continuous. Life-long learning should be your keyword.
2. ALL (Ask, Listen And Learn) : A good listener can learn a lot. Listen to your co-workers, your boss, and your superiors. You can learn a lot from their experience. Most people will love to be your free tutor.
3. Do your best with your Current job : Your current job might be best place to start the career. It is often very little that separates successful people from the average. But nothing comes free. If you do your job well and fulfill your responsibilities, this is often the best way to start a new career.
4.Professional Networking : Start developing your professional network . Your next career step might arise from your contact network. Spend some time building new contacts, and don't forget to maintain the ones you already have.
5. Identification of Current Job :Your current job should be identified, not assumed. When you start in a new job, talk to your superior about your priorities. If you're not sure about what is most important, then ask him. And ask him again. Often you will be surprised about the differences between what you assume, and what is really important.
6. Keep targetting for Next Job – the dream job must be identified. before you start planning your future career, be sure you have identified your dream job. Before building your future career your goal must be identified.
7. Armed Yourself :Your dream might show up tomorrow. Be prepared. Don't wait a second. Update your CV now, and continue to update it regularly.
8. Pick The Right Tools & add new skills :Pick the tools you can handle. You can build your future career using a lot of different tools. Studying at W3Schools is easy. Taking a full master degree is more complicated.
9. Realize Your Dreams: Put your dreams into action. If you have plans about taking more education, getting a better job, starting your own company or something else, you should not use your daily job as a "waiting station". Your daily job will get more and more busy, you will be caught up in the rat race, and you will burn up your energy.
If you have this energy, you should use it now, to realize your dreams.
