BAE Systems advertises, "Our changing workplace requires new skills and capabilities and a different approach to people management. Our approach includes good communication that keeps all employees involved and motivated regardless of location." Therefore, it is important to clearly communicate what keeps you motivated in your job and career. If you are interested in moving into a leadership position, provide parameters for them. Suggest the kind of mentoring you require in an employer and when you would like each career goal or milestone to be met. Anything you can share that gives them a roadmap to keep you from burning out on the job is worth mentioning here.
