3 productive career questions to ask yourself that'll help you reflect on what's important
1. Which relationships have become stronger?
Shallow connections are better than nothing, but what really moves the needle in your career is the number of people thatcare about you. Those are the people that will keep you top of mind for opportunities even when you aren’t looking, and they are pivotal to the success of any work goal you dare to pursue.
Reflect on your successes, but don’t let this exercise become another source of stress. If it inspires you to reach out to more people, great, but the purpose isn’t to add any additional pressure to network during this time. Your only goal is to reflect on what has already transpired around you and remind yourself that many of your professional relationships are genuine and valued.
For working parents, you may have hit your lowest point in the struggle to maintain work-life balance. So if there is any comfort to be found, it may be in the knowledge that things will never be worse than they are right now—which means you can more easily bear what life will inevitably throw at you. More importantly, this crisis could forever shape your perspective on work and teach you important lessons about how and when to put family first.
These are just a few examples of how you might be growing more resilient, but everyone’s situation will be different. Keep exploring this question and you’ll have a stronger sense of how you are now better equipped to take the good with the bad over the long arc of your career.It would be a shame to reenter your old life when this is all over without reevaluating how you truly want to use your time.
