[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you’re joking. [/quote]

I am not. The one question what job would you like to be at in 5-10 years within this company or outside this company they could not answer

I am like we can’t prepare you if you don’t tell us. Still silence. [/quote]
I wouldn’t have been able to answer either.  I’ve never been very good at knowing what jobs exist, let alone whether I’d want to do them.

If management wanted to help develop my career, it would be most useful to be asked what aspects of my job I enjoy doing, then identify positions within the company (or outside it?) that exist.  Or even trying to fit my more obscure interests into my current job (say, I was hired as a legal editor but I love databases; is there a way to fit that in).

I think I’m not the only person who just isn’t temperamentally equipped to know where I want to be in 5 or 10 years. [/quote]

But whole point is what they want. I don’t care if they say astronaut, CEO, Pope.

One junior person actually could only articulate what they don’t want to do, I suggested three head of department roles based on skills they would be good at and based on two of roles person in role retiring in 3-5 years and third one they want to build it out and could use her.

I also told person in succession planning I put you down and I plan on retiring myself three or four years. Not very interested.

And they don’t want people staying at a level forever anymore. For instance she has a staff member who wants to get promoted. Easier for them if they get promoted. I want to hire more maybe get a bigger title and bring in more staff below current staff. I think it would be strange someone sits there  as a roadblock.

We also want happy people. Tell me you want a mansion on River Road, marry a judge, be a judge, play for NY Yankees, have another kid, lose 20 pounds, backpack through Europe, buy. Porsche, get married. What do you want to do question I can’t do for you

It is obvious they are literally thinking it every day.

We will literally work phone, call connections to get you the job you want or what ever you want if we can do it.

One person was a 33 year old guy still lives at home in a junior crappy job. He had trouble answering. Does he want a wife, house, kids, VP title, be NFL QB? I will never know. He can’t even articulate anything.

Did we kill this out of people? In kindergarten we ask kids what do they want to do when they grow up and they gladly tell you.

These grownups can’t tell me what they want to do.

Guess my CEO is going to find out it won’t work trying to make people  happy as they won’t tell you.

I am simple. Porsche convertible, CEO title, Board seat.
