• A few years back, career development plans were
  generally outlined by the employer for an
  employee. Employees began their careers at an
  entry-level position in an organisation and with
  increased seniority and training, used to work
  their way up to achieve success.
•  
• Today, career development plans work quite
  differently. Unfortunately, majority of the
  organisations dont outline it anymore. Now,
  career development plans depends individually on
  each of us. So, whats the best process to create
  the right career development plan?
•  
• Following are 4 career development plan
  perceptions that can help you to take a jump
  start in your career

• Try to become a resourceful employee
• You should always strive to find new ways for
  creating opportunities. At the same time, do your
  best to create value or solve a problem/issue for
  the organisation. Your worth in the organisation
  automatically increases, when you take a
  challenging assignment/project and succeed. This
  provides an opportunity for you to make a strong
  statement when issues like performance and salary
  increment are discussed.

• Find out how the organisation feels about your
  performance
• Ensure that youre always open to communication
  with others in your organisation and try to
  initiate it. If possible, hold meetings with your
  employer every month and discuss your
  development. For example, find out whether youre
  on target in the development plan or what are the
  things requires work to keep your development
  plan on the right direction.
• Have complete charge of your career development
  process. Ask yourself the things youre learning
  from the position, experience and organization.
  Youre probably losing ground in your career
  development, if you dont feel moving forward or
  in the right direction.

5

• Try not to become too comfortable
  
• If your position in the organisation is quite
  easy and comfortable, theres a chance that
  youre settling for less which is not good for
  your success patterns. Never settle for anything
  less in your life, when you can accomplish more.
  Many people have a motto in life that if they
  arent in an uncomfortable situation, then they
  feel lacking in proper growth.
• Such people try to put themselves in challenging
  situations to get the best out of them. If you
  become too self-satisfied about your work,
  theres a high chance that the organisation will
  do that too. Find environment that challenges and
  energizes you to the fullest.

6

• Dont become incompetent
  
• People often stop caring about their position in
  an organisation after spending a lot of time on
  the same. They even stop thinking about how they
  look while showing up for work. Avoid such
  situations by taking an active role in your
  career and life.

  developing excellent career plans that will
