Developing or updating your career plans should always begin by reviewing your current personal and professional goals and expectations, as well as those which your department and institution have for you. After establishing career goals, you should identify gaps in your skills and accomplishments and work to address them through formal and informal training, as well as on-the-job experience. Likewise, you should continuously try to identify opportunities for career advancement that may exist at your institution or elsewhere. A key to addressing these needs and opportunities is getting input and assistance from mentors, colleagues, coaches, and other advisors, and utilizing appropriate career development programs including those available through your institution and professional societies. Your professional activities along with your faculty track and rank will have a significant impact on your career development planning. It is important to remember that your career path is unique to you and should be reflected in a career development plan that is tailored to your specific interests and goals for advancing in your field, impacting knowledge and people, and achieving personal satisfaction.
