Why is career navigation useful?
Globalisation: awareness of career opportunities has grown
Technology: many new jobs did not even exist 15 years ago
Portfolio careers: the job for life is dead.
Knowledge work: its easy to take your knowledge and skillsfor granted, as if everyone can do what you do.
Entrepreneurialism: Employers offer less ready-madesolutions, they are more interested in what added value you
offer them. Lif e as career: The concept of a career has expanded to
include balance with different life roles (e.g. employee,volunteer worker, parent, homemaker).

This means thinking about what
you really love
When you know whats importantto you in a career, you can evaluate
the positive and negative aspects of your choice in context.
By reviewing several options youcan better justify the choice youmake to yourself (giving you
motivation) and to others (helpingyou sell yourself).
Being good at something is not agood enough reason to do it!

Stay light on your feet, but remember
your fundamental direction Change is a constant; we all change, from situation to
situation and over time.
Therefore you cant plan a whole career with 100%
certainty
But there are some things in life that are constant.
Psychology shows that people have certain enduring
personality traits (pre-dispositions to behaviour) and
stable strengths and preferences.
You strengths and preferences are your themes, the
best you can do is make decisions in the direction of
whats fundamentally important to you
