How do you talk to your boss about leveling up in your career?

I have been working for the same large company (but on a small team) for 10 years at the same role. I want to grow in my career, take on new responsibilities and move into a managerial role. I think there's a good opportunity to move within my own company and think it's probably important to talk to my boss to get his help, but I'm nervous and don't know what to say to get his support. Any insight/tips you can share on how to approach this in a professional way that doesn't make him want to fire me or think lower of me as an employee on his team would be hugely helpful. Thanks!

Will our choice in a college affect us in the long run?

What strategies and approaches have you found most effective in achieving long-term career growth and success in your field, and how have you balanced personal and professional development to attain your future goals?

In my experience, the key to long-term career growth and success has been a combination of continuous learning and building a strong professional network. Staying updated on industry trends and acquiring new skills through courses, workshops, or conferences has been essential. Additionally, finding mentors and collaborators within your field can provide valuable guidance and opportunities. Balancing personal and professional development involves setting clear priorities and boundaries. Time management and goal setting are crucial. You need to know what you want to achieve in your career and personal life. Regularly reviewing and adjusting these goals as circumstances change is important. Achieving future goals often requires patience and persistence. It's not always a linear path. Embracing challenges and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow is crucial. Lastly, don't forget to take care of your well-being. Physical and mental health play a significant role in achieving long-term success

I am good at writing, analyzing, and conceptualizing and I also love science, psychology, sky, and arts. What career do you think suits me?

I'm a senior high school student and right now, I am taking up STEM. I want to have now a specific career choice as I'll go to college but right now I am still in hesitation of my choices. Assessing myself, I realized that I am really good at writing, science, and planning things out. Aside from that, I am a very introspective person and i am fond of psychology, arts, understanding things, and traveling. #career-counseling #career #career-development #job #highschool #writing #career-choice #stem

How do I break into the consulting world?

I am a 23 year old from the United States finishing my Masters degree in International Business Management in France at Grenoble Ecole de Management. Although I am in a Masters program, it is still very difficult to break into the consulting world. I tried searching for mentorship programs at some of the top consulting firms, but from what I have seen, they are only offering these programs to people with diverse backgrounds, which I do not have. Any tips for improving my resume or any free online courses that you may know of would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

How does a person decide on an area of study without a vision of what they would like to do?

My roommate was going to school and took a semester off because she was really unhappy and unclear of where she was headed. She started taking classes again, but still feels lost and without grasp of her future. We were talking over breakfast this morning as she was expressing her frustration to me. The advice I gave her was to take a moment and think about what makes her happy. She responded with possibilities of programs to study, but couldn't seem to have find an answer. She knows she wants to go to school, but is currently taking classes without direction. #business #career-counseling #career-path #career-development #undecided
