Hi all

As we approach the Christmas holidays it’s a good time to review your career to date.  Many of us have almost 2 weeks holidays at this time, so why not allocate some of that time to look back at your working year 2008.  Write down any achievements you accomplished, for example, did you deliver a project on time? Were you asked to represent your company at an external event?  Sometimes we overlook or forget our minor ‘wins’ and only focus on major promotions but when you are updating your c.v. and deciding to submit it for a new role you would really like to get, one of your tasks in your present role might be just what the employer is looking for. 

If you have never read any edition of the ‘What Color is your Parachute? by Richard Nelson Bolles the 2009 edition is out now.  Its subtitle is ‘Job-Hunting in Hard Times’ unfortunately that title makes sense at the moment. 

Until next week

Have a good weekend
