May 19^th Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day has a very important meaning to me: Hope. It is impossible to live without hope. Life means constant problem-solving and after every problem we solve, we are faced with another one. This is the same in both social and business life. We may not solve each problem the way we like, yet we must keep our hope for younger generations. It is our responsibility to leave a better and livable world to future generations and thus they can live in a better world and leave it as a legacy to next generations.

For the very reason, we, in fact, should celebrate our greatest value -the youth and future generations- every day. We are grateful to great leaders such as Atatürk for reminding us of them and such days.

People who consider making important changes in their life, usually are lost in finding the right questions (hence answers) before taking the right step for a change. With the following  ‘3 Hints Series’  I will publish life and business experiences in a clear-cut format to focus on essential topics. The idea of this series comes from my children who are always challenging me with topics relating to ”the devil is in the detail”.  Naturally growing up with the Social Media, Generation Z like to come to the point quickly without getting into the details.

The first topic ‘Career Change’  is quite important for everyone, but particularly for the young generation. What are the essentials when starting a career or changing jobs?

1) Challenge: A job should provide excitement, recognition, future prospects.
2) Location: It should be acceptable for the entire family and meet one’s standards.
3) Compensation: Although not the key aspect, it should be motivating, fair and provide flexibility.

If all three aspects are met , being successful depends on your individual approach and commitment!
