We spend a lot of time in the Compensation Today blog talking about attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining employees, but what about your own career? Have you thought about what you’d like to change to keep yourself on track with your career goals? Maybe you want to earn more money or finally earn that promotion. Maybe it’s time to begin working on an advanced certification, like a PHR or SPHR. Have you often thought about getting an MBA in Human Resources? Or, perhaps, you might be ready to switch careers and start over in a new field. Big career goals like that can be daunting—where do you begin? It’s simpler than you think. Start with three words: Make It Happen.
To help you get started making your dreams come true, we want to invite you to join Make It Happen, PayScale’s new online program designed to help you accomplish your career goals. Our program is all about action. Often, career advice comes in the form of lofty platitudes, like “dress for the job you want.” We got tired of the same old advice. We know that making significant changes in your life requires action. To that end, we organized our best tips and tricks to help you achieve six common career goals.
