Andrew,

The review is key, I’m glad you brought that point up here. One of the great failings in business is the actual execution of the plan into reality. The “devil in the details,” so to speak.

When we put the effort into building our framework of career management, it is important to periodically review the plan for new projects and/or action items.

Hi Scot,

All great points and I agree with Anita – networking is key, inside and outside the company, you work for.

Mentoring can be really helpful as long as one knows why they need one and what they want the outcomes to be. Also look for one inside the company you work for – they will be free. If you do have to go looking outside, ensure you do not enter a long term commitment in case you just do not get on.

One more point I would like to add – once you have your career plan – ensure your review it and change it accordingly, regularly – at least every 3 months.

I agree. A networking and mentor “component” to the plan would help a great deal.

All good points. Also would add how important it is to keep up the networking and to find a mentor to help you over the rough spots and keep you focused.
