How do you see yourself 10 years from now? Do you often dream of being the Top Dog in whatever career you’re in? For example, one day, you are looking at being the chief graphic designer or head of the legal department.
But don’t make a mistake of not letting your manager or your bosses in on your ambition. After all, when you are working yourself up in your career, you’d want to make it pretty clear to people that you have the ambition to grow.
During interviews, people are often asked how you would see themselves in their careers in 10 year’s time. That’s an indication that the company wants people who can be motivated to do the best job possible. It also means that you have signalled to the company that you are a candidate to train to take the place of others as they move up.
So you see, these are good reasons why you should always be thinking of your career growth, how you want your career to progress and then tell your bosses about your vision of your career path. Of course, all talk and no activity will not get you anywhere. You’ll have to make sure too that you put your plans into action.
