> Look Well Into the Future When Career Planning

Although the initial stages of career planning are crucial to success, looking well into the future when career planning is essential if that success is going to be maintained. Careers change, the market changes, the economy changes. If you want to make sure that you remain a hot commodity in your career, you need to make sure that you can roll with the punches.

The best way to look into the future, you must start by looking into the past. What have been the trends of your industry? Where has its competition come from in the past? What companies have survived and which haven’t? Why?

Next, look at the current state of the new industry in which you hope to work and ask the same questions. Choose case studies in the form of major companies. Find out who the key players are in these companies and check out their career path. What did they do after school and entry level positions? Read business journals and check out industry forums online. Where is the current threat coming from? What are people saying about the future of the industry? How will that affect your ability to get a job in your chosen career and keep it five, ten, twenty years down the road?

Now, look at both of these groups of facts and consider your future. What areas will you need to acquire frequent updates on information and skills in order to maintain your position and move up? A certain amount of critical thinking is necessary to prepare yourself for the possible twists and turns of the market as it concerns your chosen career. By assessing the past, taking note of the present, and planning for the future, you will have a much higher chance of not only holding onto your new career but excelling at it as well.
Is this Career Right for Me?

Are you happy when you wake up in the morning knowing that you are going in to work? Do you feel as if you have hit your peak at your job? Can you honestly say that you love what you do? Some people can not answer these questions positively and if this is you, then you need to decide if the career you are in is right for you.

First off take the time to go over the different things that you like or love to do daily. Do any of those have anything to do with the career you are currently in? Most people pick careers according to what they liked to do either in school or outside of school. For instance, someone who loves to calculate things and look at problems from an analytical aspect may pursue a career in mathematics, accounting, or some other financial field. There are plenty of self assessing tests out there that will help you to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. People who more then likely dont like their careers probably consider it to be something that is mundane and repetitive. They begin to feel like robots in doing the same thing day to day. They need a little change in their lives and their current career doesnt provide them with any hope.

The key to any career path is to figure out what you like to do and apply it to a career. Take some of the tests that are out there to determine what career would be a good fit for you and try the careers that are in that category. If you find later on down the line you realize you made a mistake then slowly transition into a different career path. Trust me; its not the end of the world!
Career Planning and Me

Career planning is exactly what it sounds like: planning a career that makes the most of your interests and goals, suits your temperament, and maximizes your education. Traditionally done once at the beginning of adulthood, today this is a process that has become a lifelong endeavor as those in the workforce must keep up with the constant changes of the economy and the demands of our society.

It begins with assessing your current situation, not just financially or at work, but your personal state of mind as well. Do you enjoy organizing things or working within a certain time period and leaving it there when you go home? Are you better at leading people or working alone? Do you prefer to be outside or inside? Do you have political, religious, or moral beliefs that compel you to get involved in a certain field? Anything, absolutely anything that truly inspires you can be made into a career. But first you have to identify what it is that inspires you and why.

Next, take a look around. Is there a name for the job that you want to do or are you a pioneer in the field? Is there a company who is hiring or do you need to create your own? Research what is available, what is lacking, and what is related to what you want to do. Now take your research a step further. Try out an internship or a volunteer position, read books about those who have succeeded in your field, ask to shadow someone who does the job you’re aspiring for. Find out what others had to do to get to where you want to be: other jobs, experience, education. And then decide if it’s something that still interests you.

It’s best to follow these steps for more than one possible career choice, but not more than a few. Unless all of them bombs, you may very well find something that you’d like to try. Enroll in courses if need be or get your resume, interview outfit, and list of companies ready and start applying for entry level positions. Or both. And remember, nothing is ever set in stone. If this doesn’t work out after a few months or you decide you no longer like the career you’ve chosen a year later or 20 years later you can always go back to the drawing board and start again.

ROSELAND, NJ —
Private sector employment increased by 152,000
in January, according to today’s ADP National Employment Report(SM). The
ADP National Employment Report, created by ADP® Employer Services, a
division of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), in partnership with
Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC, is based on actual payroll data and measures
the change in total nonfarm private employment each month.

“We are committed to continually enhancing the ADP National Employment
Report to provide unique and valuable information about the U.S. employment
situation,” said Victor Saliterman, ADP Senior Vice President, Marketing.
“Beginning with February’s Report to be released on March 7, the ADP
National Employment Report will provide insight into employment in the
goods-producing and service-providing industry sectors, as well as across
various company sizes.”

“Total nonfarm private employment rose 152,000 from December 2006 to
January 2007 on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the ADP National
Employment Report,” said Joel Prakken, Chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers,
LLC. “The acceleration of employment in January suggests that the economy
remained on solid footing heading into the new year, and that December’s
decline resulted from unusually large downward adjustments made at some
firms to reflect the year-end reconciliation of employment records.”

    Notice of Intent to Revise the ADP National Employment Report        

On Thursday, February 22, 2007, Automatic Data Processing, Inc., in      
conjunction with Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC., will publish revisions to 
the ADP National Employment Report covering the period from January 2001 
through January 2007. The revisions will reflect: (1) a larger sample of 
payrolls; (2) improved procedures for seasonal adjustment; (3) better    
detection of outliers; and (4) additional detail on private nonfarm      
employment by select industry and by size of payroll. The first regular  
release of the ADP National Employment Report to incorporate all these   
revisions will be published on Wednesday, March 7, 2007, for the         
estimate of private nonfarm employment during the month of February,     
2007.  Additional details on the revisions will be published on February 
22, 2007, and will be available at www.ADPemploymentreport.com.

Interpreting the Report

Providing real-time information about employment in the United States, the
ADP National Employment Report is an additional assessment of American
business and economic conditions. Findings are represented as both a
monthly employment level number and a change in monthly employment level
number. Employment level represents the total number of private sector
jobs present in the U.S. economy at a single point in time. Change in
monthly employment level represents the increase or decrease in the total
nonfarm private employment level since the prior month.

To obtain additional information about the ADP National Employment Report,
access the full schedule of future release dates, and subscribe to monthly
e-mail alerts and RSS feeds, please visit www.ADPemploymentreport.com. The
February 2007 ADP National Employment Report will be released on Wednesday,
March 7, 2007 at 8:15 a.m. EST.

About the ADP National Employment Report(SM)

The ADP National Employment Report, sponsored by ADP®, was developed and
is maintained by Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC. It is a measure of
employment based on a large, statistically significant, and anonymous
subset of ADP payroll data that represents employees working in all 19 of
the major North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) private
industrial sectors. The data is collected for pay periods that include the
week of the 12th of each month, and processed with statistical
methodologies similar to those used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(the BLS) to compute employment from its monthly survey of establishments.

Empirical analysis performed by Macroeconomic Advisers suggests that the
ADP National Employment Report is a better advance indicator of the monthly
change in establishment employment than available consensus forecasts, and
that it anticipates revisions to the BLS measure.

For a description of the underlying data and the statistical properties of
the series, please see “ADP National Employment Report: Development
Methodology” at http://ADPemploymentreport.com/methodology.aspx.
