A business career plan shows you many things about your future:
- Where you have been (financially, geographically, socially, employment-wise)
- Where you are going (financially, geographically, socially, employment-wise)
- Why you want to go there
- How quickly you expect to achieve your goals
- What sub-goals will indicate progress toward your goals
- What you have to offer the business community in order to achieve these goals
If you go into an interview thinking “I just need a job. Oh God please let me get a job today.” you are doing yourself a grave disservice. After all, even if you are desperate, you shouldn’t show it. The best way not to show it is to ask a lot of questions about the company and have them pertain specifically to your goals and what you have to offer. When an employer sees that you have a very specific plan laid out for your life and business career, he or she will see that you are a big-picture thinker and someone who doesn’t act without thinking. This alone is impressive, and shows you are a true business person, not just any job seeker.
