2016 is right around the corner -- do you have your career plan in place yet? In this Slideshare deck, Human Workplace CEO Liz Ryan walks you through your three options for a 2016 career plan, and explains how to reach your career goals in the new year!

1. What’s Your 2016 Career Plan?

2. It’s the fourth quarter of 2015 now.
It’s time to start
thinking about your
2016 career plan.
Luckily, it’s easy to
do. Let’s walk
through the
process!

3. First question: is your current job still
the best job for you?
If you love your job, and
are learning something
new every day, that’s
magnificent!
If you can keep learning
and growing your flame
throughout 2016, then your
best career plan may be to
stay in your job.

4. This is Career Option One: Grow
Muscles in Place
What does it mean?
Growing Muscles in Place
means staying in your job with
a specific plan:
• To learn specific new things
• To gain new resume fodder
(stories about your
accomplishments, and)
• To grow your muscles and
mojo!

5. No! My job is not growing my flame!
That’s okay! There are two
more Career Options to
consider.
If you know you want to
change jobs in 2016 (or if
you’re job-hunting now) you
can start planning for your
2016 job search.
Preparation is the key to a
successful job search!

6. What kind of planning will I do?
You’ll start by deciding what
you want to do next in your
career.
Once you are clear on your
new career direction, you’ll
brand yourself (in your
Human-Voiced Resume) for
the jobs you want.

7. You’ll be ready to go!
Career Option Two is to
Launch your 2016 Job
Search!
Of course, you won’t waste
time pitching applications
into faceless, mojo-sucking
automated recruiting
portals. You’ll job-hunt a
different way!

8. How will I job-hunt?
You’ll conduct research on
each of your target
employers.
You’ll reach your own
department manager
directly with your Human-
Voiced Resume and your
Pain Letter (sort of like a
cover letter, but much
more powerful) through
the mail!

9. What’s Career Option Three?
You can begin planning to
launch your own
consulting business –
either part-time alongside
a full-time job, or full-
time.
Career Option Three is
called Build Your Two-
Lane Highway!

10. Why does it have that name?
One lane of your Two-
Lane Highway is your
full-time job or your job
search. The other lane
is your consulting
business – the one
whose launch you will
start planning now!

11. How will I decide which Career Option
to choose?
Ask yourself these questions:
• Is my current job making me
happy, paying me what I’m
worth and growing muscles
for me professionally and
personally?
• Could I learn more and earn
more working somewhere
else – or working for myself?

12. Once I decide on my 2016 career plan,
what should I do?
First, you’ll create your
plan.
Then you’ll work your
plan, step by step!

13. How will I learn how to take these
steps?
If you like, we can help. We
are Human Workplace, a
publishing and coaching
firm.
Human Workplace is an
international movement to
humanize work - with
millions of followers around

14. How could Human Workplace
