Things you should talk about in career discussions.

[Etini]

A career discussion is a conversation between an employee and another person, most times a manager on a career advancement and development. So many people make mistakes when having career discussions with their managers. They tend to focus on irrelevant things. I am going to give tips that would make your career discussion a fruitful one.
Firstly, a career discussion should not dwell just on your promotion. Your career is much more than being promoted and getting a good paycheck. While this is important, you need to focus on how your career would advance. How you would move through steps in your career. How do you plan to get further qualifications? How do you hope to get to a consultant level in your career and how the organization can help you get there?
Secondly, you have to discuss on the challenges you have faced working in the organization. A career discussion is an opportunity to make suggestions on how working conditions can be improved in an organization.
These are two things you should talk about in career discussions

In most cases it also depends on the organisation you are working with that determines all this. For example people that are working for the government may not really need to discuss much about their career and its future opportunities for employees because everything is standard as long as you are qualified academically promotion will come , other benefit that is associated with government work will automatically be your portion and as long as you are ready to work honestly and do what is expected of you.

For most people who are working for private organisation yes it is necessary for you to discuss what your career in such business organisation will lead you to , like will you be eligible to receive pension after retirement . what other benefits can you get if you have to work in this business organisation? This will determine the next decision you have to make.

Very true. When most people have career talks with their managers or employees, they only tend to focus on getting promoted or getting their salary increased. This ought not to be so. A career talk should also involve things like;

• Ways to improve good relationship among employees and also between employees and the manager or employer
• It should also include ways to educate the employees as they advance in the career. Things are changing as the days go by. There are new and easier ways of doing things. Employers ought to organize educational courses for their employees at least once in a year and this should be discussed in a career talk.
• employees should be able to point out what company rules they are finding it difficult to adhere to, and this should be sorted out during a career talk.
