Developing Your Career and Succeeding at Interviews

How can you develop your career in a productive, fulfilling way? Several, practical techniques are vital but it starts with commitment and energy – the drive has to come from within.

First, continuous, self-managed learning is essential. The most successful people possess initiative and drive, personal responsibility and a life-long keenness to learn. The best employers recognise this fact and actively support personal development. Choosing the activity that is most appropriate for you often depends on cost, time available for development, your particular learning style and the direction you hope to move in. Also you may want to participate in voluntary activities outside work. Pursue projects that you think would develop your skills and benefit the business. Also, discuss development activities with your peers, share your experience.
