Explore Options
Absolutely! To explore options, Michelle needs to consider different career options aligned with roles that play to her strengths as well as opportunities to develop connections and capabilities related to digital communications.
Key Considerations
- It’s recommended that Michelle brainstorm with people, in addition to her people leader, who can share insights with her. For instance, there might be a colleague in another department, ideally in digital communications, or an external mentor who she might want to engage.
- At the end of this stage, Michelle should have a list of options that potentially fulfill her career aspirations of moving into digital communications.
- Michelle can also proactively take a look at the CSL Global Job Catalog to view qualifications for job profiles of digital communications roles she’s interested in.
Steps
- Utilize the CSL Global Job Catalog.
- Select job family group(s) of interest (i.e., communication / digital communications).
- Compare a Professional Level 7 role and Management Level 7 role in the digital communications job family with her current job profile in market insights & analytics. She can make it simpler by opening multiple profiles and reviewing them side-by-side.
- Consider the qualifications and expertise needed in both potential new job profiles versus her current role in market insights & analytics.
- Brainstorm options with trustworthy colleagues and mentors.
- Continue the career planning conversation with her people leader by sharing options identified from the job catalog and exploring next steps.
Now that Michelle has discovered her personal brand and explored some viable options, what should she do next?
