Goal setting is the most important part in a company’s life and also an individual’s life. The biggest challenge I have faced is pursuing a career without a direction. Driving without a steering wheel will surely get you injured if not killed. After my 10+2 education, I started pursuing a career which wasn’t a good fit for me and ended up dedicating four years to it. Like a company undertakes various projects, my career path is a project and when I dedicated four years to the wrong project I was surely to land in trouble. It affected my confidence, self esteem and also sent a knock-out blow to my career goals.
At the end of these four fruitless years I stood at a crossroads with varied option to pursue and now was the time to undertake some serious goal setting based on where I saw myself after five, ten and fifteen years. The questions I asked myself was whether I wanted to be a business man or an employee climbing the corporate ladder. Another question was to whether pursue my passions for a career or receive vocational education and go the academic way. The choices were plenty and time constrained. The biggest challenge in this short span of time was to look at the option of a drastic change in my unplanned career. Finally I decided to go with the flow and set basic long term goals of pursuing a vocational training through academics, starting with an employment and exploring prospects of a business later and keeping my passion as a side vertical to de-stress from time to time.
Based on these long term objectives the short term steps came easy. Starting with MBA entrance exams I took admission into MBA HR at NMIMS and have made a career switch from finance to Human Resources based on where my real interests and competencies lie.
