Take a moment to assess your career progress with these five essential questions, helping you stay on track and achieve your professional goals in the financial sector. For assistance finding a new role, turn to our team at PrideStaff Financial.

Questions to ask regarding your present and future:

Questions should be separated into segments: personal questions, performance/career-based questions, and mentor-driven questions. When thinking about your progress, it’s important to realize that you continuously grow and change. Some of it is based on how you are doing at work, some involve life situations, and/or if you are currently seeking employment. Ask yourself this: What would I like to improve in my work/life balance? What skills do I still need to advance my career path? Am I able to relocate for my career?

Career-based questions:

These questions are driven more towards the career you are in or the one you desire. What are my current hard and soft skills? What technical qualifications do I currently have? Has my ideal salary range changed?

Questions to ask a mentor or leader in your industry:

Whether you are searching for a job or looking to advance your career, we all have mentors and leaders we respect and value. In order to check your progress and determine where you are in your career objectives, it’s important to ask those who know you and your work best. Are there any new projects or roles where I can take more responsibility and learn new skills?  Which skills should I prioritize to advance my career and contribute better to the team? What goals should I set to align with my career aspirations and objectives?
