Especially in large companies, it is common for superiors to regularly talk with their subordinates about their career. If you don't have experience with this type of conversation or you would like to use it more efficiently, get inspired by the following tips on how to prepare. The areas to focus were summed up on careerealism.com. The crucial question is: What do you want to achieve in your career?
Personal values
Name the top five values leading your life. These values should match your career goals.
Motivational factors
When listing your motivators, be as specific as possible and, again, make sure that what motivates you fits your career goals.
Short-term career goal
Describe what you hope to achieve in the next 12 months. This may be developing your existing role, but also gaining another one.
Long-term career goal
Not everyone knows exactly what he/she wants to achieve in the long-term career. If you, however, know it, your boss should know it too. Only then he can help you follow the right direction.
Strengths and development opportunities
Decide what you are good at and what you would like to develop in further.
Plan for next year
Ask yourself the question what specifically you will do to develop your career in the next 12 months. Prepare a draft of your own plan.
