You heard the woman

It’s already Christmastime! And chances are if you’re unemployed or thinking about making a career change – there’s a lot on your mind during this holiday break.
I just read this great article from Heidi Ehlers over at Talent Zoo about how to “Get Your Shiznit Together” during the next couple weeks.
- Spend some time thinking about your career.
- Figure out the top 3 reasons why someone should hire you over someone else with the same title.
- Consider where you want to be with your career 5 years down the road.
- Think about what your website would be like if you were trying to communicate the top 3 reasons from #2.
- Build a website using the ideas you generate in #4.
- Update your resume!
- Craft a follow-up voice mail message that’s more interesting than “Hi, I sent you my resume. Did you get it?”
- Bask in your past accomplishments.
- Forget those accomplishments long enough to figure out how you can improve yourself and what you offer.
- Be confident and ready once the break is over!

Thank you for the feedback, always welcomed.
Just to clarify, I’m not at Talent Zoo, although I contribute the occasional article to their fantastic weekly newsletter.
The link to where I can be found on most days is above.
Thank you for stopping by.
