What is a Personal Mission Statement?
Categories: Career Terms | May 10th, 2010 | by Administrator | no comments
Mission statements are designed to provide meaning, direction and purpose to every organization. Most companies have mission statements to convey their business, corporate and social goals clearly.
A personal mission statement, on the other hand, is a bit different from company mission statements. First, it can differ from person to person. Second, it is about personal values that we want to follow through in the course of our career.
For job seekers, creating a personal mission statement can help identify core values and beliefs. It establishes priorities and goals. It provides direction, especially for people who are at a career crossroads. A personal statement can also serve as the road to success by strengthening and sticking to it.
