The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to refocus your energy and set new career goals. Whether you’re looking to progress in your current role or transition into a new industry within cyber security, there are simple steps to help guide you through achieving your goals.
Looking back over the previous year and identifying your strengths and weaknesses could help inform your career plan for the next 12 months. Similarly, highlighting significant moments of achievements and hard work can also be beneficial in defining what your long-term goals will be. It may also be worth considering taking an inventory of your skills used in the past year to discover what you enjoyed and where your skillset may be lacking and what may need further attention in 2023.
The more you learn, the easier it is to make decisions within cyber security so conducting research around your career is essential. Understanding potential routes to your goals, or significant learning experiences that may elevate your career are important aspects of planning your next steps. Be clear on what you want to achieve and how you want to get there. This can be from finding a new role or to progressing within the company.
Detailing each step of your plan is just as important as setting specific time limits for each phase. Breaking down your yearly goal into smaller milestones can help manage your progression, make your goal seem less overwhelming and set realistic timeframes for each of your objectives. Your plan may help identify resources that are missing which may open conversation as to how your current employer can help you strengthen your skillset within your role and help you achieve your aim.
