A little thinking about your career July 21, 2008

Communicatrix has a nice post regarding overestimating and underestimating what you can do.

Now, the last time I referenced one of her posts, I got a few befuddled 'Huh?' responses. "What in the world does this have to do with recruiting?" was a common theme.

Heading this all off at the pass, one thing I commonly see in candidates (and hiring managers, too), is a focus on the immediate future. In developing a career, it's important to set a long-term goal, and then identify those skills & attributes you need to develop to get there. You will likely have a number of stops along the way getting to the goal.

It's amazing what we can accomplish during our career(s) in time, and with conscious, directed thought.
