Factors To Consider While Fixing Your Own Career Targets

By George Dodson


When searching for a job what you should understand is the performance goals expected out of you when you are employed in that particular job. It's important to improve your individual work performance but at the same time, it's equally important to optimize the overall performance of your company. Then only your performance will be measured in the right context.

It is very crucial to take into consideration the objectives of your management and also your firm before you set your own performance goals. For setting your personal performance goals, you need to first make an assessment of the aspirations and aims of the company management. The company also may have done their homework to set individual performance goals for their employees and you need to consider this when looking for the job.

As an employee of the firm, it is your obligation to understand and work for the company's overall targets and goals. While working with your employers, you need to set goals that can simply fulfill the goals of your employers while reflecting on your improved performance levels to help attain those goals.

While we plan to set our goals while searching for suitable jobs, many of us are tempted to make a common misconception. This misconception underlines the importance of appraisal to evaluate our performance on an individual basis but not on the basis of the entire work unit. There are typically job reviews every year for any job. This means that the supervisors and managers normally assess the performance of their subordinates annually. Different types of forms are used for recording the performance attributes of the employees. This process may go smoothly for sometimes but may fail to help identify the performers sometimes. These annual appraisals of the employers should be the basis when we set our performance goals.

While these performance appraisals are of significance, those are not the only aspect you should work at. It is always possible that while using set patterns of performance formats, many a times the employers overlook the actual work done by you. Hence, it is important that you should not allow your past performance reports to affect when you set the goals to improve your performance. There might be some situations that might be beyond your control. You need to look forward and increase the effectiveness of your working for generating better results.

So if you are working, but want a new job, set goals like submitting 5 employment applications per day. Also talk to at least 1 new person a day. You can use those contacts to find new jobs. Reading at least 1 blog posting a day in your field can keep you up to date. These are some of the factors which can help you go get a good employment opportunity.
