Here are the 5 career questions to ask yourself in 2024:
1. Do I want to grow in my role?
If you’re looking to take on more responsibilities or earn a promotion, here’s what you should bring up during your annual review: your motivation for the position and your commitment to the company, as well as your desire to invest more effort in advancing the group’s strategy.
2. Do I need to improve my skills?
If you want to take a training course, here’s what you should bring up during your annual review: a feeling that your skills are lacking in certain areas, or a desire to perform better by learning a new tool. Research the available options so you can convince your employer.
3. Do I want to lighten my workload?
You need to delegate the tasks you’ll discuss during your annual review: make a list of your various responsibilities and prepare examples of typical workdays. You need to make it clear to your manager that you really need help or a new way of organizing your work because you’re on the verge of burnout.
4. Am I being paid fairly for my work?
If you want a raise, here’s what you should bring up during your annual review: highlight your accomplishments from the past year (goals achieved, launch of a new project, increased sales), and think about a desired amount or percentage that’s in line with your industry.
5. Am I looking for new challenges?
Do you want to broaden your scope of work with new, stimulating projects? Here’s what you should bring up during your annual review: your enthusiasm for your day-to-day tasks and your desire to develop certain aspects of your job. Start thinking of a few ideas to suggest to your manager—perhaps there’s an area of expertise you’d like to explore further.
