2. In this thread,I will be discussing why young vets need to first achieve CLARITY by doing a personal SWOT analysis,and why they need a Professional Development Plan focusing on long term incremental progress. #WVD2020 @NigerianVets @Zoetis @FAOAnimalHealth @OIEAnimalHealth

3.I will also touch on how young vets can find,prepare and position themselves for life-changing career opportunities by keeping abreast of the info landscape,relationship building,thought leadership,platform building,and taking ownership of animal & public health issues. #WVD2020

4. In my nine years since graduation from Vet School in Nigeria,one thing I have found is that even though numerous opportunities exist for vets in today's world,many young vets are yet disillusioned about how to build a fulfilling & profitable career #WVD2020 @MatthewStoneOIE

5. The truth is: it doesn't matter whether you work in Govt,private practice,in livestock sector,public health,academia,international organisations or industry,the principles of career building apply irrespective #WVD2020 @NigerianVets

http://6.As  with every human endeavour,building your veterinary career begins with http://you.It  begins with who you are,what are your goals and aspirations and where do you see yourself five,ten and twenty years from now. #WVD2020 @EmmaDavisVet

7.Making a choice of which direction to go should therefore not be a decision that you'll take lightly or leave to http://chance.You 've to undertake a thorough process of self-reflection to find out what you really want. #WVD2020 @NigerianVets

http://8.In  deciding which area of vet medicine you wish to pursue,I recommend that you do a personal SWOT Analysis to document your #Strengths, #Weaknesses, #Opportunities and #Threats. #WVD2020

9.A #SWOT analysis is not just a business http://tool.It  is also a useful tool for career http://building.At  the minimum,it gives you an indication of your strong points and weak areas and can guide you to making better decisions in terms of your career.

10.Documenting your Strengths can point you to fields within the larger vet profession that you can pursue competently and that come naturally to you without much struggling. #WVD2020 @NigerianVets @_mamalolo @drsenos
