Let’s make a SMART goal for finding opportunities…

Making a SMART goal is a good way to achieve your goals, no matter how big or small. You can break down your journey to success into small steps that fit your needs.

A SMART goal is:

Specific: What do you want to achieve?
Measurable: How will you know when you’ve achieved it?
Achievable: How can your goal be accomplished?
Relevant: Why is this goal worth the effort?
Timely: When do you aim to accomplish this goal?

Example of a SMART goal

“I will click on two employers from the gallery today and see which one is a closer match for my skills and interests”

Try this at home

Use the Get Job Ready SMART goals worksheet from McDonald’s to create some SMART goals that will help you step closer and closer to what matters to YOU.
