Today is a great opportunity to check-in with the job-related goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year to see how you are doing and what needs improvement.Time for your midyear goal review. Maybe your career goal was to transition into a more fulfilling executive role, or perhaps you wanted to position yourself for a promotion. Now is the time to get real about the progress you have made, and make a plan to achieve these goals in the second part of 2016. Check your midyear goals using these steps:1. Debrief where you areSometimes when we check-in with our goal progress, it\u2019s easy to get discouraged when we haven\u2019t achieved what we thought we would. But we can\u2019t track our progress until we know exactly where we are.Debrief your current progress and milestones \u2013 have you brushed up your executive resume? Have you researched new positions? Or perhaps you made new connections that could help you out down the road.Break each career goal apart and determine exactly what steps you have taken, even the small ones, to get a realistic view of where you are.2. Decide where you want to beWith each New Year\u2019s resolution, we grandly state where we are headed over the next 12 months. But typically, halfway through the year, your ultimate direction has shifted, even slightly. It\u2019s hard to step away from resolutions, especially if you haven\u2019t accomplished them yet (ahem, a new job is right around the corner!), but now is the time to reevaluate and determine what the right direction for you is going forward.Maybe you\u2019ve realized that staying in your job for another six months isn\u2019t feasible any longer \u2013 now is the time to decide what you want the next six months to look like and how you will find a new role. Decide what you want your career to look like, reflecting back on December 31st.3. Recalibrate your expectationsNow I am going to let you in on a little secret. If you haven\u2019t accomplished your goal of revitalizing your career or stepping into a new role, what you have been doing the past six months isn\u2019t working.It\u2019s time to get serious and recalibrate your expectations around what you are doing and what you could be doing, to meet your goals. Have you updated your executive resume? Have you gotten feedback about your interviewing style?Your results will not improve, unless you change your approach. And now is the time \u2013 with six months left, you can make a significant difference in your career.4. Recommit to achieving your career goalsAll is not lost \u2013 we still have half the year to go. But once you know exactly what you will be working on and changing a few key things in your approach, you need to be committed to your career goal.New jobs tend to not land in our laps \u2013 wouldn\u2019t that solve a lot of issues? Instead, you have to work at it, network, build the right relationships, and go after the job of your dreams.Now that you have completed your midyear goal review, recommit to your career goal and take one step \u2013 small or big, each day to make progress towards it. Simply by continuing to move forward, your new career is closer than you think.Be Well!LisaLisa Rangel – Executive Resume Writing ServicesChameleon Resumes"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Midyear Goal Review – How far along are you?","item":"https:\/\/chameleonresumes.com\/midyear-goal-review#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
