Are You Ready To Progress Your Career In 2020?

Of all the goals that you wish to achieve in 2020 and beyond, building a better career is undoubtedly one of the top items. After all, the rewards of getting this right will impact your work life, finances, and life satisfaction.

The motives for enhancing this aspect of your life are clear, but how can you make it happen? Here are 10 simple suggestions that’ll serve you well.

1| Consider Moving 

It may be an extreme idea, but geography can seriously impact your career. From earning potential to which job sectors are thriving, the contrasts can be huge. Therefore, finding the perfect city for your career can be one of the smartest decisions of all. Personal circumstances will dictate whether it’s an idea that you can consider. For the right candidates, though, it is the perfect solution.

The new start can often facilitate progress in other areas of life too.

2| Invest In Your Look 

Your personal brand relies heavily on image. While you needn’t look like Bradley Cooper or Margot Robbie, it’s important to look good. Whether it’s improving your physique through fitness, changing your hairstyle, or styling your outfits is up to you. Either way, enhancing your appearance will ensure that employers and clients respond in a far better fashion.

Better still, it should bring a significant confidence boost.

3| Market Yourself 

When looking at new jobs or career opportunities, you must make the most of your first impression. You can do this before you’ve even met a potential employer or client. Improving your resume, writing a better cover letter, and creating a portfolio website are all good ideas. This shows a sense of professionalism while also giving insight as to why you should be hired.

Marketing is one of the most significant skills of all. Do not forget it.

4| Network 

Knowing how to market yourself is one thing, but it counts for very little if you don’t reach the right people. While there are plenty of job websites out there, taking matters into your hands is key. From using LinkedIn to visiting local events, forming strong business relations is key. Meanwhile, contractors can join dedicated networks to secure more roles.

With a stronger network, you’ll never be short of opportunities.

5| Educate Yourself 

It’s never too late to learn new skills, especially when you wish to progress your carer. Practical business degrees can help you secure a more senior role. Accountants, for example, can look to the Northeastern University to further their development. Entrepreneurs and workers from various backgrounds can also reap the rewards of higher education.

You might not see the benefits right away, but skills and qualifications will unlock new doors.

6| Become A Leader 

Developing key skills related to your job role is vital. Nonetheless, you must not overlook the need for great leadership too. Communication is at the heart of all business. As such, the ability to express yourself while also driving colleagues to success makes you an attractive prospect. If you are not naturally blessed with these skills, now is the time to act. But you may already have the skills disguised as something else, and you just need to the right support to bring it out. After all, if you have experience in an environment such as defense or as a first responder, organizations like the OPEC College in Australia provide an initiative called the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning), which converts existing skills gained through the defense industry and turns them into qualifications. Being able to make decisions in tough environments is not something that everyone can do, so even if you are a parent with challenging children, don’t underestimate your leadership skills!

Great leadership will allow you to climb the ladder far sooner.

7| Start A Side Business 

Starting a business can unlock many rewards. Aside from the finances, it offers you the chance to control your fate and work schedules. Even if you cannot afford to quit your current job, the opportunities for side hustles are greater than ever. With the use of freelancers and automated service, the venture can thrive even when you’re unavailable.

Whether it remains an extra revenue source or becomes your main career, positive results will show.

8| Take Responsibility 

Your career is a personal journey. While you don’t have to face it alone, only you can take responsibility. Getting organized with JibberJobber and other Apps. Embrace positive and negative feedback. Learn to improve your punctuality or work on skills that you have yet to master. Hard work pays off, and your accountability will ensure your energy is spent wisely.

If nothing else, it should provide the guidance needed to stay on track.

9| Focus On Health 

If you truly wish to take your career to new heights, you must implement wholesale changes that extend beyond business. Your health, particularly your mental health, is essential. Putting yourself in a better frame of mind can boost motivation and productivity while reducing stress levels. In turn, you will become a better worker.

The fact that you’ll reap a host of rewards in other parts of your life offers further incentives.

10| Ask For A Promotion 

Progressing your career can be defined by several types of improvement. Ultimately, though, most people, financial circumstances are the best barometer. Therefore, one of the easiest ways to get a career boost is to ask for a pay rise and get it. When you handle the situation correctly, showing your value to the firm, you’ll have every chance of getting the decision you want.

The extra income can also be used to gain further improvements. Perfect.
