But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Anne Lapour, you should continue to plan your career on a regular basis. Anne says our personal life changes affect our careers, so as we evolve in life, we evolve in our work, as well.

Networking is also a crucial piece and can lead to opportunities you might not have known about otherwise.
