Although some strategies may help you achieve your career goals
Although some strategies may help you achieve your career goals, they may be unacceptable to you on other grounds. What factors should be taken into account when judging the personal acceptability of a career strategy? Have you pursued, avoided, or abandoned a career strategy that was personally unacceptable? What were the consequences of this decision?
Hereby, I would like to illustrate the application of this chapter on my own career strategy:
When developing a career strategy one need to consider several perspectives starting off with the long-term goal that should give us an idea of developing our short-term goals. This topic affects my current lifestage because I will finish my MBA soon and I am currently thinking about the short-term strategies of how to be able to work towards my long-term goal of becoming an executive in an international organization. First of all, I am identifying possible factors and sources of indecision:
Lack of self-information: Hereby I am asking myself whether I really understand my interests, strenghts, values and also weaknesses. How could I transform my weaknesses into strenghts?
Lack of internal work information: While currently working as the alumni assistant at Webster University Vienna it is questionable whether there would be an employment opportunity with promotional character?
Lack of external work information: Do I have sufficient information about companies or organizations where I could find a job that fits to my profile?
Lack of decision making self-confidence: Am I confident to make my career decisions?
Decision- making fear and anxiety: Even though I have done the general MBA, would there be a possibility to work in the field of marketing?
Nonwork demands: As I am single and just at the start of my career I am able to invest also private time into work.
Situational constraints: At the age of 24 I should be able to reach my career goals in expected 10 years with a possibility of attaining a second degree.
