Goal Setting
Prompts that can be used to help clarify short and long-term career goals.
We’re all familiar with SMART goals... SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. It’s important to keep these constraints top of mind when setting career goals, especially short-term ones.

What do you want to accomplish in the next six months?
Creating long-term goals
Is there someone you look at now that you’d like to be doing their job in five years?
