Why is Time Management Critical to Career Success?
1. Your time is a limited resource
Regardless of where you are in your academic career, your graduation from Marymount will continue to approach whether you choose to prepare for it or not. Don't be caught scrambling for lost time! Be proactive and make the most of your time at Marymount by following this four year career development plan (graduate students: four stage career development plan) and come see us ASAP to talk about how you can get on track today!
2. Big goals are achieved by small steps
In order to be a competitive candidate in your field when you graduate, during your time at Marymount you need to gain hands-on field experience, develop strong professional documents, cultivate effective interviewing skills, and compose a workable job search strategy. Each of these individual things take a significant time to carry out and prepare for! Let us help you make a step by step plan that works with your schedule.
3. Being efficient with your time = competitive edge One of the single most important qualities employers look for in new hires is the ability to manage their work time effectively. Employers want individuals who can provide quality work in a time efficient manner without a lot of micro-managing. Learning how to manage your time effectively while you are at Marymount is thus not only critical to your academic success, but also to your
ability to stand up against the competition when searching for internships and jobs throughout your life.
4. Prioritization skills are essential to moving your career and your life forward
Being recognized as an efficient worker is the first step to garnering the respect and trust required for handling more challenging projects at work. When you can do more than what is asked of you in a time efficient manner, you are demonstrating your potential for success at higher levels of responsibility. More importantly, when given increased responsibility in the work place, your capacity
to take on new tasks with minimal stress will reinforce the reality of your true potential in the eyes of your supervisors and give you greater confidence, both as an employee and as an individual.
