“When you recalculate, you open up infinite possibilities”
– Lindsey Pollak
COVID-19 and a global pandemic made 2020 pretty much “unprecedented” para sa madaming pinoy sa Pilipinas at sa buong mundo. When you also add in the impact of increasing automation, the surge of remote work, and increased political and social pressure for diversity and inclusion, it’s pretty clear this is not an era for “business as usual” when it comes to managing your career.
Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work
Kaya ano ang dapat mong gawin? In the infamous words of a GPS app on your phone or other device when you inadvertently take a wrong turn, oras na para muling kalkulahin ang iyong layunin sa iyong karera o career goals.
Walang duda na ito ay magiging isang hamon, pero it’s also an amazing opportunity to go in a fresh direction which might not have even been available when you finished college. Ang bagong digital economy ay nag-aalok ng ilang tunay na kahanga-hangang career options.
THE SIX MAIN VALUES OF RECALCULATING
Welcome to membership in the Recalculators Club.
“My greatest goal is to ensure that you will never, ever miss out on a career opportunity you want because you didn’t try for it. When you embrace the art of recalculating, you accept the knowledge that your career path will not be a clear, straight line forward. You seek out change and challenge and discomfort, rather than avoiding it. The sooner you learn how to handle false starts, detours, and disappointments—and even plan for them in advance—the smoother and more satisfying and more successful your journey will be. And sometimes you’ll find that winding paths can take you in unexpected directions that are even better than you imagined.”

PRINCIPLE#1 – ADJUST YOUR MINDSET (Be positive)
Madaling isipin na ang mga unprecedented disruptions caused by the pandemic are a pain. Kalimutan mo na iyon. Nakabuo ito ng once-in-a-lifetime opportunities para sa mga naniniwala sa kanilang sarili. Choose to join their ranks, and step forward.
PRINCIPLE#2 – FORGE NEW PATHS (Recalculate upwards)
Dahil pupunta ka pa rin sa isang bagong direksyon, mag-pause at linawin kung ano talaga ang hitsura ng isang matagumpay na karera para sa iyo. Make sure that what you aim for now is genuinely what you want to achieve with your career. Aim higher than before.
PRINCIPLE#3 – BUILD A CAREER STORY (Personal brand)
Building and then communicating your personal brand ay isang bagay na nasa iyong kontrol, and which can significantly enhance your recalculation progress. Tiyaking natukoy mo ang iyong personal brand, at natututo ka kung paano ito i-communicate all the time.
PRINCIPLE#4 – NETWORK (Tap personal relationships)
Personal referrals ay hands-down ang pinakamahusay at pinakamabilis na paraan upang makakuha ng bagong trabaho. To be in a position to generate those referrals when you need to recalculate, Simulan ang pagbuo ng iyong personal na network ngayon. Kung nagiging mas malawak ang iyong professional network, mas mabuti.
PRINCIPLE#5 – ACE JOB SEARCH (Build greater expertise)
Ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang maging skilled sa job hunting is to start applying for jobs today. The sooner you get in the game, the better you’re going to get at it. Do the work and make job applications araw araw. You won’t get 100 percent ng mga trabahong hindi mo inaaplayan.
PRINCIPLE#6 – TRANSFORM (Make your jobs opportunities)
Hindi mahalaga kung paano at bakit ka napunta sa isang bagong trabaho, make sure you take advantage of the opportunity to acquire new skills, integrate more people into your professional network, at pagbutihin ang iyong karera. Always have the right attitude, at ikaw ay aangat.
“Careers don’t go in a straight line anymore. Be prepared to zig and zag your way to the top.”
