[ Career Planning ]

Your Career
You spend more time at work than anywhere else. An enjoyable & prosperous career in any field is rarely an accident. Most great careers are planned and re-planned. It makes sense to periodically take stock of where you work and what you do. Many people find themselves in a particular work situation and stay because they are:

Comfortable where they are
Unaware of how the market for their skills and experience has changed.
Too busy with their jobs to take the time to assess their work situation or the available opportunities.
Unable in their present work situation to secure the training and experience that they need to obtain a new position.

The recruiters at MBA can help you! Because we are in constant contact with employers in the Bay area, we are aware of changes in the market for your skills. Our years of experience in the data processing arena give us a perspective that will be of value to you. We are an excellent source for a dispassionate assessment of both your skills and experience and your current position.

We are here in the MBA office on weekdays, and can review your situation and opportunities with you in less than one hour.

Some of the areas we will investigate with you are:

What do you enjoy doing (Programming, managing, user support, hardware, software, training, etc.)
What are your skill levels at your current tasks.
How long have you been at your current position.
What kind of work environment makes you happy? ( Structured versus unstructured, User contact versus more systems work, development versus operations)
What do you want to be doing in the next 3 to 5 years.
What are your long-term goals for a career.
Where do you want to work (city, State)
What are your financial goals (stability, income level needed now, goal for future)
How long do you want to be in your career. (5 more years, or 25 years)

After reviewing these topics, we can suggest a course of action that will be in your long-term interest for your career.
