Career Planning Takes Work
By Cord Harper, CEO of Endeavor Agency
Your career is like a ship on the ocean. Navigating from place to place and trying to avoid pitfalls. Career planning, like navigating a ship, takes work.
Sometimes, the daydreams come along when you feel like you are marooned on an island. But, you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t ignite your passions, or worse, you don’t have a job. Your ship is there to take you to the next career destination.
The captain calls out from the deck. “Climb aboard. What’s our heading?”
You pause and just stare back at him. After several seconds you reply, “I don’t know. No one’s ever asked me that.”
Then, you realize, it’s been many years since you last actively looked for a job. You haven’t needed to do career planning. Jobs always seemed to find you and your career progression was essentially a series of island hops. They were a short swim from one to the next or some group enticed you away with better crabs and coconuts.
This ship looks like it could go anywhere. It has many sails, navigational charts, and an experienced captain and crew. Those dream destinations always seemed too far away. You didn’t have the resources or skills to make it happen. Now, the possibilities are endless.
The sailboat in our company logo and the name Endeavor have meaning. We are here to help people reach their destinations. Your ship has come in. Where will it take you?
