These are my notes on attending a talk given by a Google career coach on how to treat your career like a project.

Initiate

  • Define the scope of what you are trying to achieve.
  • It is generally guided by motivation.
  • Also, define the success criteria.

Create a Next Move Objective

  • The objective should be -
    1. Specific
    2. Measurable
    3. Actionable
    4. Relevant
    5. Time-bound.
  • Break down all these objectives into bite-sized chunks.

Execute

  • Have a well-managed calendar.
  • Have a robust Note Taking system in place.
  • Grow your network.
