Career Goal setting

We all know the signs of a great job: One where you eagerly jump out of bed each morning because you have the ability to make a difference. Or one that allows you to learn and grow while you do what you're most passionate about. If you're not getting these things out of your current role, it might be time for a career change. But where to start? In this course from career expert Whitnie Wiley, J.D., you'll learn all about how to plan (and execute) your next career move. You'll discover how to own where you currently are and take responsibility for moving forward. Whitney will share how to create a vision by asking precisely the right questions, and she also reveals the seven areas of your life you'll need to assess to aid your search. Finally, Whitney shares how to identify your key strengths and talents, set goals, look beyond your circumstances, and overcome obstacles. After completing this course, you'll be one step closer to your dream job.

How GoSkills helped Chris

I got the promotion largely because of the skills I could develop, thanks to the GoSkills courses I took. I set aside at least 30 minutes daily to invest in myself and my professional growth. Seeing how much this has helped me become a more efficient employee is a big motivation.
