Already broke your New Year’s resolution to eat right and exercise? Never fear. There’s still time to start out on a new path when it comes to your career, according to the Accountemps staffing firm.
Accountemps offers 10 resolutions for those looking to improve their work lives in the new year:
1. Conduct an audit: look objectively at your strengths and weaknesses and write down the areas where you could make improvements.
2. Learn something: take a class, learn a computer program or get a new certification.
3. Network: Join a new organization or online network.
4. Help others, part one: By acting as a reference for a former colleague or offering advice to others in your network you build goodwill for the future.
5. Help others, part two: Be a good coworker, helping out overworked colleagues and praising others’ achievements, and make yourself look good in the process.
6. Revamp the resume: You never know when an opportunity might come along.
7. Get interpersonal: Work with a mentor to improve your people skills.
8. Step up: Offer to take on new projects and join cross-departmental teams.
