Self-reflection and assessment lay the foundation for the entire career management road map. It’s not a good idea to jump right into your résumé or LinkedIn profile if you can’t convey what is important to you or describe your next target role.
The ultimate outcome of this step is to be able to articulate your career goal. There is always a “next” role so, even if you are six months into a role, ensure you are planning and developing to prepare to advance to the next one. Investing time in self-discovery work will guide you to a clear path forward.
