Eight Drivers that Derail Careers Our career may be progressing smoothly with our career goals largely achieved and our future career prospects remain bright. However, this is not a guarantee that we are forever successful at our workplace and in our work life. We may be hit by a snag that slows down or even halt advancement entirely.
Sometimes, we become aware of these when we saw our peers progressing ahead of us but we do not know the way out of the situation.

When you are afflicted by these experiences, it means your career may have been derailed and you need to know how to put it back on track.
