Career Spring Cleaning

April 2009

Throughout the year we all accumulate skills, responsibilities, accomplishments and more in our professional toolbox. What better time than spring to evaluate your career needs and perspectives and to do a little career spring cleaning.

Check your measurements – does your resume stack up? Update your resume and your job description and check it against your performance measurements. Make sure they accurately reflect your responsibilities.
Hammer out office politics: stop, watch and listen. Understand the dynamics before participating. Clean up your relationships.
Organize your responses by thinking before you speak or act. Will your comments or actions change the outcome or change perceptions?

Sometimes we need motivation to do our spring cleaning. 825 Basics’ My Career Needs a GPS Workshop can provide you with the motivation you need to organize your career and set you on the path YOU define.
