We spend the majority of our life at work and making the right career decisions plays a significant part in your present and future opportunities.
We live in a time when we are confronted with constant change in many aspects of our lives. Changes in the workplace often include a reorganization of available jobs, a more rapid rate of technological development and shifts in business structure. In order to stay competitive and employable you must invest in lifelong learning to keep your career on track.
All of this creates the need for frequent career decision-making and those decisions can impact on a person’s family, finances, health, social responsibilities, leisure time and overall lifestyle.
