As the GPS lady sometimes tells us, we may need to recalibrate. With mid-year registrations open at Boston a re-assessment now can empower you to take control of your career trajectory and still allow you to get started on your goals.

Here’s how you can assess your progress, pivot if necessary, and seize new opportunities for a fulfilling and successful future.

Assessing Your Progress

First, evaluate where you stand. Have you met the milestones you set for yourself? Are you moving closer to your long-term career goals? Be honest with yourself on your achievements and challenges.

If you find that you’re not where you hoped to be, don’t be discouraged! Identify areas where you’ve fallen short, this is a step in realigning your efforts. Whether you started something you are not enjoying, or you didn’t manage to get started at all – semester B opens doors to achieving career goals even mid-year.

Pivoting Your Path

If your current career trajectory isn’t bringing you satisfaction or if you've encountered significant obstacles, look at a different career, skill or qualification.

Ask yourself if you feel any of the following: unfulfilled, lacking motivation, finding it difficult to get up and get yourself to work, difficult to complete tasks, or wanting to discover new passions that excite you more than your current role.

Boston City Campus offers mid-year registrations, allowing you to pivot your career path and pursue new opportunities right away. Explore new avenues and start fresh with a career that aligns better with your current aspirations.

Unleashing Opportunities

Surviving a career in a world drive by change and by AI requires a growth mindset. You can continuously develop and enhance your skills. The Boston City Campus Career Compass online interest assessment helps you discover new directions.

The Career Compass can guide you through identifying potential career paths that match your strengths and interests. Embracing a growth mindset means being open to learning and adapting, which is crucial for seizing new opportunities
and advancing in your career.

Seizing Control

Taking charge of your career trajectory involves

  • proactive planning and
  • self-assessment.

With exciting new accredited degrees available, giving specialisations in logistics, accounting (SAICA accredited) and management, now is an ideal time to reassess your strengths and realign your goals.

Developing Your Plan

Let’s get started!

  1. Develop an action plan for the second half of the year.
  2. Create specific, measurable goals that you aim to achieve by the end of 2024.
  3. Complete the online Career Compass assessment
  4. Call your closest campus or request a call back to discuss your best career path
  5. Text books are included and payment plans available.
  6. Keep in mind: Boston City Campus’ Graduate Support Services Department is an excellent resource for assistance with CV writing, job opportunities, and networking. Utilize these services to enhance your job search and career development efforts.

Career check-ins are crucial for job satisfaction and personal growth. You may be satisfied – a check-in does not necessarily mean change – it just means value yourself enough to make sure you are in the best place you can be!

By leveraging the resources at Boston City Campus, you can empower yourself for a successful and fulfilling career. Find out more by visiting the Boston City Campus website
