The early 20s are the years when you have just stepped out of your university and into the workforce. And questions like 'What is my longterm goal?', 'Am I in the right career field?', 'Is all this even worth it?' must not bother you whatsoever. All these doubts need not be your prime concern, at least at such an early stage. Think of yourself like a kid who needs to be open to various options and be flexible to new ideas. What you need to focus on is learning as much as possible. Expose yourself to different styles of working, gain from your senior's experience and acclimatise yourself to the working styles of different organisations. Keep your options open and build useful contacts along the career path — you will need them in the future. Bear in mind that a positive work record when you are in the initial stages of your career will always keep you in good stead for the rest of your life. Your seniors will vouch for you even when you move on and don't work for them any longer. Trying to find out where you ought to be 10 years down the line can wait for a while. Such decisions are not taken impulsively. Right now, building a reputation of someone who's hard working and flexible and willing to learn is far more important.

It typically represents one's shift to the first level managerial position or maybe an assistant level leader that places you somewhere in between the long hierarchy of the company. However , such a shift requires a massive change in the mindset as well. Out here, the competition gets even more intense . At this stage of your career, one must focus on displaying leadership qualities and be a lot more focussed towards specific goals. The key is to make sure you get recognized for all your work. Carefully document all your achievements and have them ready for important meetings with the management. Display leadership qualities and pay attention to taking your team along. At this stage of their career, many professionals tend to take it easy and become self-obsessed with their senior position. But you must remember , reaching seniority is easy, commanding respect at that position is equally difficult.

Here's when you sit back and re-examine what success means to you at this stage of life. While some already start setting their eye on the next level of success (like a better managerial position or a new business venture), there are also some who get disillusioned by what they have and hence, contemplate a change of career path and priorities. This is the point where you assess your requirements and try to understand where you want to take the rest half of your life. Do you want to reach a new level of earning potential? Do you want to take it easy and get back to dong things that you left midway? Do you want to spend more time with your family and friends? Re-examine your definition of success and act accordingly. For your 50s At this stage, plan for the years ahead because that's when you will be close to retirement. If possible, set up a tentative schedule for yourself because these are the years when people suddenly have more time than ever on their hand. If the present job is getting too stressful to handle, you may also opt for an alternative career. An important aspect is to be aware of your financial savings and investments to gear up for any unforeseen circumstances. -- Visit site at – http://investorline.co.in/ Learning Center- http://learning.investorline.co.in/ Mutual funds - http://mutualfunds.investorline.co.in/ Life Insurance - http://insurance.investorline.co.in/ Investor Forums- http://forums.investorline.co.in/ Iwebs Open Source Web Publishing Platform - http://webs.investorline.co.in/iwebs/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Get latest market updates & search internet right from your browser-download our toolbar here- http://investorline.ourtoolbar.com/ Visit our site at – http://investorline.co.in/ Newsroom: http://newsroom.investorline.co.in/ Learning Center- http://learning.investorline.co.in/ Mutual funds - http://mutualfunds.investorline.co.in/ Life Insurance - http://insurance.investorline.co.in/ Investor Journal - http://research.investorline.co.in/ Newscatcher- http://catcher.investorline.co.in/ Interested in Financial Planning-Let us Contact you- http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pb_z4f1_zGMg4iBBFT3-SWQ&email=true If you like the site then promote it here- https://www.freetellafriend.com/tell/?url=http://investorline.co.in/blogs/news Create your own free blog on- http://investorline.co.in/blogger Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/india-investor -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
