Do you manage your career or does your career manage you?

According to a LinkedIn survey published on August 15:

the average American has been in the same job for 9.88 years, rising substantially to 13.91 years for professionals over 55
22% admit that they “fell” into their job rather than actively choosing
23% say that they feel like they are “on a treadmill going nowhere”

Although the data represents 2000 US American professionals, we confirm that – based on our experience and observation – the numbers across Europe could be very similar.

At Career Angels we call that a career “on autopilot”. Looking at the research data from Decision Dynamics, as many as 64% of over a million professionals do not have a career that matches their innermost preferences and motives.

Why does that happen and what can you do about it?
