Creating a Professional Development Plan
Ma Hnin works as an admin assistant at a trading company in Yangon, earning 350,000 MMK per month. She has been in the role for two years. She watches colleagues get promoted or leave for better jobs at NGOs and MNCs paying double. She keeps thinking she should improve herself but does not know where to start. She once paid 80,000 MMK for a random online certificate in digital marketing because a friend recommended it. She never used it. Six months passed. Nothing changed. Ma Hnin does not lack ambition. She lacks a plan.
