Be Prepared.
February 8th, 2010 — 8:50am
While most of us are not boyscouts, the Be Prepared idea is one to keep in mind. As the economy starts to turn around, new opportunities will be out there, whether internally or externally at a different organization. Create a spreadsheet or document to continuously track projects you’re working on, accomplishments you’re proud of, and outcomes you’ve impacted. That way, when your ideal next job gets posted, or a recruiter calls, updating your resume means opening that file, not racking your brain trying to remember what you’ve been doing for the past few months.
