continues from front page. In our careers, many of us simply show up at work, do everything we are supposed to do and are surprised if the car does not move. Or if it does, it moves in a different direction to what we thought it would. If this sounds familiar, it is time for you to drive your career from the driver’s seat! It’s your career and it is up to you to decide what you want to do with it. You can no longer depend on your employer to plan your career for you. The days of working for one employer for your entire working life are gone. It is time to control your destiny. But taking control of your own career is not always as simple as it sounds. A career isn’t something we move through. It isn’t a series of jobs. A career is something we develop and carry with us throughout our entire working lives. It changes and evolves continuously over time. Planning your career is a lifelong process. You will spend an enormous amount of your life at work (around 100,000 hours), yet how much time have you spent deciding and directing how you want to spend those working hours? The key to a successful career is self-assessment. One of the first steps in the self-assessment process is to establish your values. Values reflect our deepest beliefs. They are powerful principles that guide our actions and opinions, our dreams and our sources of stress. If you decide on a career without regard to your inner values, it is almost a guarantee that you will be unhappy. For example, if your most important value is service to society, you might consider a career in social work. But if your second value is money, you will probably have to find a career that both services society and brings in significant income or you will be dissatisfied. Another consideration when planning your career is your skills and talents. There is a major difference between skills and talents: skills can be learned, natural talent cannot. Your natural talent is valuable to an organisation and more and more employers are recognising this. At the end of the day, some people are just more talented at some things than others. And usually, your natural talents are also where your interests lie. If you are in a job that takes advantage of your talent, chances are you will enjoy and be interested in what you are doing in that job. Hence, the organisation will get better results and you will be more satisfied. While talent is more in line with your natural abilities and cannot be learned, skills can be learned. Skills are demonstrated activities of competence. Many of us underestimate our skills and qualifications. In identifying your skills, you are likely to make effective career decisions and, in general, feel greater confidence as you pursue the career planning process. In addition, career management often demands the ability to adapt your skills and talents to new and different work environments. This requires that you be able to identify these skills, learn how to transfer them to new areas, and, in many cases, think about new skills you may need to acquire to improve your employability and become more successful.

Once you have identified your core values, talents and skills, you will have a good basis for deciding what kind of career your want – to determine what you want to do and where you want to do it. First of all, assess where you are in your career. Do you like everything about your organisation but dislike your role? If the answer is yes, then your action plan should revolve around shifting to a role that suits you within your organisation. Most organisations welcome an employee who is actively looking to stay in their organisation but wants to find the best fit for both themselves and the organisation. Perhaps you like your job but you are in the wrong organisation. Then your action plan should revolve around finding a similar role in a different organisation. Or, perhaps you have discovered that you are in the wrong field entirely and that you want to make a major career change. You will not be alone in this decision. Labour statistics report that the average worker changes careers six times during his or her lifetime. The secret is to keep your values, talents and skills in mind and weigh every decision against them. In all of this planning, the key is to remain flexible and adaptable. Keep shifting your goals as you need to and keep learning. Today’s technology means that everything is moving at a fast pace. If you cannot keep up with the skills you need, you will not be able to keep up with your own career goals. Whatever your situation, as you continue on your lifelong career path you should constantly refer back to your values, talents and skills. Re-evaluate them from time to time and ensure that they are current with your career goals. What you valued five years ago may change, depending on your situation today. People change, priorities shift – that is what managing your career is all about.

CAREER EXPERT Dear Chris, I’m working for a company here in Singapore for the past several years but would like to gain experience in an overseas market. I’m quite interested in Australia but am open to other locations depending on the opportunities. Do you have any advice on relocating overseas? Is now a good time to move? I know last year employers were reluctant to invest in overseas candidates. Thanks, Georgina Dear Georgina, Thank you for your letter and I’ll start by saying you’re not alone. We’ve seen an increasing number of skilled professionals relocating in order to secure their next career step. For many professionals, relocation helps to realise personal career ambitions that cannot be achieved locally. The good news is that many employers are again willing to consider overseas candidates due to skill shortages, particularly in Australia. There are an increasing number of job ads stating that relocation assistance is available for the right person. Most failed relocations are the result of poor preparation. Research into the lifestyle, climate, accommodation and recreational activities is just as important as researching the employment market.

6. Know what it’s really like to live there: A one to two week trip to your intended destination is an excellent way to get to know the place before you commit to relocating there. If you would like to look further into the opportunities available to you, we have offices in 28 countries. You can refer to our website at www.hays.com.sg for more information. Best of luck with it! Regards, Chris Mead General Manager HAYS Singapore

1. Make sure jobs are available in your area of expertise: Talk to a recruiter and explore opportunities before packing your bags. I’ve heard many stories of people expecting to find work once they arrive but unless you can fund your stay while you look for work, this only adds extra stress. It will also make the experience much less enjoyable. 2. Be realistic in your salary expectations: Salaries differ by location, so make sure you are aware of typical market rates. Cost of living also varies and needs to be taken into consideration. 3. Consider lifestyle factors: Whether the relocation will offer a tree-change or a sea-change, the lifestyle available needs to be as agreeable as the career advancement on offer.

About Hays Hays is the leading global specialist recruiting group. It is the expert at recruiting qualified, professional and skilled people worldwide. It operates across the private and public sectors, dealing in permanent positions, contract roles and temporary assignments.

4. Investigate the daily commute: If you want to move from a regional centre to a large city, it is likely you will spend a considerable amount of time commuting to and from work. How will this impact you? What is the public transport like? Have you considered parking costs?

Hays employs 6,933 staff operating from 345 offices in 28 countries across 17 specialisms. For the year ended 30 June 2009, Hays placed around 50,000 candidates into permanent jobs and around 270,000 people into temporary assignments.

5. Accommodate your partner’s career needs: Relocations often fail if a partner’s career needs are not met.

For recruiting or career expertise, please visit www.hays.com.sg Hays, the world’s leading recruiting experts in qualified, professional and skilled people.

Hays in Singapore can be contacted on +65 6223 4535 or chris.mead@hays.com.sg Send your questions to marketing@headhunt.com.sg
