Every career will have bumps and surprises along the way, but by building a plan for your trajectory you can mitigate those problems by moving through a series of manageable steps that are much more within your line of sight and immediate control, according to David Van Rooy in his book Trajectory: 7 Career Strategies to Take You from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. The book provides a range of hints for managing a successful career.
My full review of the book is available at my business book reviews website.
