Exercise B

Base this exercise on where you would like to be in your career five to ten years from today.

What abilities, knowledge or qualifications will be instrumental in achieving your goals?

Review your current knowledge and transferable skills, and in relation to the first question, identify those which need to be acquired or developed

How can the types of expertise you need be developed most efficiently?

How can your current employment serve these goals?

Will staying in post assist or hinder the achievement of this aspiration?

What sort of project, new employment or course will take you a step nearer the goal?

Discuss pertinent aspects of your needs and aspiration with your line manager or other relevant person and use this to feed into your next formal annual review
