How to Develop a Career Path ?
|
A career trajectory is the path your jobs take as you move forward, backward or stay on an even keel throughout your working years. A career trajectory can look like an upside down "V", a bell or a staircase, depending on how much planning and work you invest to get to where you want to be.
You can develop a career path by looking at your desired job/jobs within your organization. Then chart a course through jobs and departments, with the help of your supervisor or manager and the DC Career Paths website!
