Choose a direction to explore
You do not need to decide your entire career at once. Choose a role, industry, or type of work to investigate. Review several real job descriptions and note which responsibilities and skills appear repeatedly.
Set a learning goal
Choose one skill that is both useful for the direction and possible to practise. Define evidence of progress, such as completing a small project or explaining a method to a colleague. A specific goal is easier to review than a broad aim to improve.
Try it
Select one job description. Highlight three repeated skills and choose one to practise over the next month. Write how you will know your skill has improved.
Key takeaways
- Explore directions using real work descriptions.
- Choose one skill with practical evidence of progress.
- Review the goal after a short, defined period.
