Setting Short and Long-Term Career Goals
Ma Hnin is 24, working as an admin assistant at a local trading company in Yangon, earning 320,000 MMK. Every few months a friend mentions an opening somewhere -- a construction firm, an NGO, a garment factory office. She applies to whatever sounds slightly better, changes jobs based on commute distance and a small salary bump, and after three years her pay is 380,000 MMK with nearly the same title. She is not lazy. She is not unlucky. She simply never decided where she was going. This module is the conversation that changes that.

You do not need a perfect plan -- you need a 90-day goal you can act on this week and a 3-year direction you can measure. Every job change, every training, every late night at the office should serve one of those two. If it serves neither, it is drift.
Distinguish between vague career wishes and measurable career goals with specific title, salary, and timeframe targets
Create a practical 90-day short-term goal and a 3-year career direction tailored to your Myanmar sector and location
Recognize how local companies, NGOs, and MNCs in Myanmar require different goal-setting approaches
