So, what is #5? Networking of course. Getting referred. Recommended. Sourcing your way into companies via relationships. This is almost so obvious, that I hesitate to write about it.

Beyond strengthening bonds with those around you, the Holidays offer an invaluable opportunity for reflection. In recent years, the New Year's resolution has been battered in the media. However, there is a natural cycle occuring that we can and should benefit from. We are hardwired to wind up the old year and ring in the new. It is a natural time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go. The Holidays also offer the potential for time off, or, depending on the business you are in, a quieter workplace. Take advantage of this convergence to invest in some reflective alone time.SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Career Development During the Holidays Series: The Reflective Phase", url: "/archives/2005/12/14/career_development_during_the_holidays_series_the_reflective_phase.html" });
