Virtually all of us have faced the question “Where do you see yourself five years from now?”, either during a job interview, as part of an annual performance review, or even during a conversation with friends. We often do not give our answer too much thought, but this question is significant, especially when it comes to work, because our wellbeing is partly dependent on our professional success.

This is especially the case given that it is no simple matter to find a job that is suited to your skills and abilities, progress within your company or embark on a successful career. It all requires careful thought and preparation. Furthermore, given the current economic climate, there is little room for error: job security is not guaranteed and every vacancy attracts legions of candidates.

Which job is right for you? How can you identify your skills? What are your professional goals and how can you get there? These are all useful questions, whether you are happy with your current situation but are looking to progress quickly, are at a dead end in your career or are looking for a career change. No matter what your situation, there are a number of strategies you can implement to reach your goals. Ultimately, your professional success depends on how you manage your career. In 50 minutes, this book will guide you through the different steps you need to follow to develop your career strategy.
