Dig Your Job

Posted under Career Management & Internet Job Search & Interviewing & Job Search & Networking & Online Identity & Resumes & Social Networking

I recently read GL Hoffman’s new book, Dig Your Job. This book is the “owner’s manual” every college graduate should receive along with their diploma. G.L. Hoffman has created a career management roadmap filled with insightful tips for landing and keeping a job and maintaining your sanity along the way. It’s a quick read with numerous blog-like anecdotes and top-ten type lists. You can read it in under an hour but it gives you a lot to think about as you map out your future career strategy.

Summing up Your 2008 Career Accomplishments

Posted under Career Management & Career Planning

 

December is a time for reflection. One of the topics people often reflect on at the end of the year is what they have achieved professionally over the last 12 months. Yet few take the time to actually write out their stories of success. Keeping track of your achievements and noting the impact you have had on the organization you support is an important component of a comprehensive career management strategy. Take some time this month to jot down your responses to these questions. 

  1. What hurdles and challenges did you face over the past year and how did you react to these challenges? What were the quantifiable results of your efforts?
  2. What were your top 3 to 5 achievements this year? Did these achievements save money, make money, or save time for the organization?
  3. Did you introduce any “first-ever” projects or initiatives that became best practices?
  4. What are you known for? Are you considered the “go-to-guy” for certain things?
The answers to these questions will prove invaluable should you need to update your resume in 2009. Take the time during the less hectic month of December to reflect.
