While reaching career goals in the age of inflation and The Great Resignation can feel insurmountable, it’s certainly not impossible. Experts recommend that career advancers make small, consistent changes every day.

Here are five tips to meet your career goals, according to GoBankingRates.com.  

Mentorship 

Having a trusted mentor who can provide you with guidance in your career is an invaluable relationship. If you don’t have one, tap into your network. 

Take advantage of free resources 

Going back to school may be pricey, but free universities like Coursera can give you the education you need to make leaps and bounds in your career.  

Break up big goals 

Larger goals can seem daunting but breaking them off into smaller goals will make them not seem so overwhelming.  

Take time for you 

Self-care is important, and taking time for yourself to avoid burnout is the best way to regain energy. You’ll have enough energy to get your head back in the game when you’re ready.  

Make a financial plan 

Many people avoid making career pivots because of finances. Come up with a plan so you can feel safer taking your career to new heights.
