Career Maintenance

 

Hello Friends,

School, college, and life success demands continued learning and growth.  The results of continued learning and growth are visible in the form of good grades, degree, salary, contentment, motivation, and happiness in our lives.  Inclusion of following career maintenance techniques in day to day lives will help you achieve your career goals. Career maintenance paves the path to career expansion, career transition as well as prepares you for unfortunate events like layoffs, downsizing, or plant shutdowns.

• A learning and flexible mindset opens the door to new prospects.
• Ongoing education (conferences, webinars, new technology knowledge, certifications, industry and market trends, etc.) helps you stay current in your profession.  It creates new opportunities because people perceive you as a leader who is in charge of their career.
• Maintaining an updated profile of achievements on social media provides an accurate summary about you to others. 
• Creating a personal brand that makes you stand out can create opportunities with greater responsibilities.  It influences the employer (existing or new) that you are the one for the job.
