Career New Year’s Resolutions
By now, some people who made New Year’s Resolutions to get in shape, quit smoking, to eat healthier, or to find a better work-life balance are already struggling to follow through on them.
If you committed to updating your resume, doing more networking, taking an online course, or applying to a targeted number of jobs, it’s important to maintain your momentum so your career-related goals aren’t derailed even before they’ve got underway.
Just as arising early to work out can become a struggle, it isn’t easy to stay on target with job search goals or a desire to advance in your career – especially as we near a full year since the pandemic began.
In this blog, we provide a range of resources to help keep you on target. In exercise terminology, you’ll find these ideas to be mostly low impact actions that are particularly suitable as we continue to feel the impact of COVID-19.
They do touch on activities such as reviewing resumes and networking along with steps you can incorporate into your daily life to serve as building blocks to career self-improvement.
There are also some good carryover suggestions from 2020.
