What’s Your Ideal Job?
We all have mental visions about our ideal job. Especially after hearing some news about what one company is doing or how another person’s career or work life is situated. But have you really given thought to your ideal job? Other than the amount of money you’d like to make or the title you’d like to have? Where is ideal job located?

Develop a career vision
A career vision or career goals helps you know where you want to go. People who have goals and a clear picture of what they want from a role, career in their company do better.
When you have a clear long term-vision you reach your goals. A career vision gives you hope, focus and direction. Use it as your compass but it shouldn’t be set in stone. Revise it at least quarterly but keep the older versions. Seeing how you evolve helps you with clarity as well.
