Dr Connor Richardson - Am I in “Career Drift Mode?”

Dr Connor Richardson - Am I in “Career Drift Mode?”

Dr Connor Richardson narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Career drift can happen when you proceed on your professional career course with no plan, or when a career strategy goes awry due to conditions beyond your control (like a pandemic.... or in academia... a lack of funding maybe?). It is easy to become reactive and stop being proactive career moves, taking the next job because it was offered (without building toward long-term goals) and now you feel stuck. Well, that's kind of how Connor felt in 2022, coming out of the pandemic, but could 2023 be a new year? Was that period of drift actually useful, and was 2022 all bad? Questions he answers in this blog.
