Navigating your way to career success

Article Abstract:

Success in the accounting profession is self-guided. It is essential for accountants to understand the established career paths within the industry early on. Additionally, it is important to set goals and evaluate the transferable skills needed to achieve them. Accountants should also avoid pitfalls such as: anchoring down in a specialized area; salary traps; and industries and companies that are in decline. Wide exposure to different industries will increase an accounting professional's overall value in the long run.

Organizing for Career Paths

Article Abstract:

Secretarial positions are hard to assess objectively because of their broad range of activities. Career paths are limited because of inadequate job descriptions that do not provide good measurements for evaluation. At the first professional secretaries convention held in Melbourne late 1983, secretaries were exhorted to push for greater upward mobility through the pressure of a consolidated professional organization and through continuing education. Private secretaries in Australia start at $14,000 annually.
