Taking control of your career direction

We’re now at the time of year when school leavers are gaining their exam results and planning their futures.

Well, even though we’re older and further into our working lives we still need to plan our direction, and decide what we want from our futures.

Personally, I’ve always worked on a five year plan and treated my future a bit like a business plan. I always advocate speaking with employers on the direction you would like to take, highlighting what benefits this can also bring to the salon so both you and your employer benefit from you career progression.

Taking command of your career demonstrates enthusiasm and commitment to your development and the success of the salon and you will find it can:

Increase the level of involvement in your development from the salon

  • Lead to you feeling and being more valued in the salon
  • Increase your profile and create opportunities for promotion
  • Increase your value to the salon and improve your prospects for staying in your job
  • Enhances your CV if you should want or need to move jobs
  • Increase your earning potential and income/profit for the salon, so everyone benefits
