To attain career health, laying a solid foundation is essential. This involves crafting a dynamic career plan that aligns your professional path with your personal goals and values. By establishing clear, achievable objectives and actively seeking opportunities for learning and upskilling, you equip yourself with the resilience needed to grow in the ever-changing job market.

Improving your career health is a proactive journey that requires intentional actions and decisions. Begin by conducting a thorough career health check to evaluate your current satisfaction levels and areas for growth. Start by understanding your VIPS (Values, Interests, Passions, Skills) before coming up with a career plan. 

Setting realistic career goals and outlining a clear career plan can guide your path towards achieving them. Embrace continuous learning to keep your skills relevant—they are what you will need to build career resilience and stay competitive in the job market, and don’t underestimate the power of networking and seeking mentorship for uncovering professional development opportunities. 

By adopting these strategies, individuals can cultivate a more fulfilling and resilient career path.
