Career Planning

Having located potential work, you then need to market yourself and negotiate terms. Once in the job, you will be required to work on many levels, possibly handling a variety of tasks simultaneously. Learn to see every potential work situation as a market. Find new ways to exploit your skills, knowledge, and experience, and learn how to take advantage of opportunities to sell yourself.

    Core workers are expected to have a wide range of skills including leadership, managerial, development, professional, and technical abilities.
    If you want to get the maximum return from your networking, you need to give a high profile to your transferable skills.
    You need to be able to work without a clear job description and to prepare yourself for short-term employment.
    To stay in work you will need to constantly demonstrate your value to the organization in each new situation.
    Your place within a new company is as the supplier, fulfilling a need to the customer (the employer).

In order to maintain a productive and financially rewarding working life, you will need job-specific skills plus job-search skills—and you are responsible for acquiring them.
