Keeping a Career Journal can be a great way to help you develop your career and get ahead. We are often so focused on our daily or weekly to-do list that we often forget to dedicate time to our career development.
Keeping a Career Journal can build into your routine a regular review of your career. This will include helping you to:
- reflect on your career
- celebrate your progress
- celebrate your wins both big and small.
Using your Career Journal you should write the answers to the weekly prompts, together with your own regular prompts (which should be based on your goals for your career journal). This exercise will help you reflect, focus, and consider the “big picture” of your career.
If the idea of doing this seems overwhelming, our Weekly Prompts can help you break this down into a manageable routine.
