New Year Resolutions for the Working Professional

Work being such a huge part of our lives, it’s natural that our thoughts linger on our career aspirations when the time comes to set

New Year goals.

Here are some useful and achievable New Year Resolution ideas

you can make to give your career a boost in 2015.

Getting a Raise/Promotion

Talk to your manager about what it will take & what is the timeline to

achieve a raise or promotion. Think of what your organization needs. To

ensure that you offer what the company needs, make a list of your

responsibilities, your major projects, projects you’ve worked on that you

weren’t asked to do, recommendations or endorsements from others

inside or outside your company, future responsibilities, etc. Quantify

your accomplishments.

Quitting your Job

Consider a new role within your current company. An internal

move is usually an easier and quicker way to achieve your career

goals. Whether you stick with your employer or pursue a job

elsewhere, you should take the time to figure out exactly what

you want from a new job & then ensure that your LinkedIn profile

& your résumé represent your skills and aspirations

appropriately.

Getting a New Job

Only quit your current job if you have a new one lined up. You

have a lot more leverage that way.

If you’re unable to find a new job, consider modifying your job

description within the same company. The company has invested

in you and a slight shift in your role and responsibilities may be a

win-win for everyone.

Being more Organized

Being organized is crucial to higher productivity & efficiency.

Having an organized calendar/schedule & an organized desktop

are must for a professional in this age of back-to-back meetings

and multi-tasking.

Improving your Work-Life Balance

Consider coming in earlier. If you can get things done in the

morning, it will allow you to leave earlier each day.

Another solution is to delegate more. You should also prioritize

better. Work on the most important projects and don’t try to finish

everything in one day. There’s always tomorrow!

Zoffio #Degree #Resolution #OfficeSupplies

Getting a Degree

There are endless options for online or flexible degree programs

for working professionals, so set the wheels in motion in 2015 by

researching programs & setting a date by which you want to

complete the program. It’s simply never too late.

The key is to not abandon your work resolutions. As the year

wears on, the excitement of a new plan can wear out, unless you

stay vigilant in your purpose. Stay motivated, think about what

you’ll achieve if you keep up with your New Year Resolutions.

Good luck! We hope you have a productive 2015, Happy New

Year!
