MY CAREER DIARY
| | Keep a diary or log of your career accomplishments. Log them as they happen, or sit down once a month and add entries. Have a place to enclose good reviews from your employer, or letters of praise from satisfied customers or your supervisor. When it is time to update your résumé, this diary will make the task much easier! More importantly, when you are feeling down, this is a great way to pick yourself up! |
PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
| | Professional Associations are a great way to gain knowledge of your industry, network and keep on top of current news affecting your industry. Membership in associations also shows your employer and your peers that you are serious about your commitment to your career. Ask your associates for recommendations, or check search engines on the Internet using "association" and your industry descriptor. Joining a professional association may be the best investment you make for your career. Click here for a list of professional associations. |
