Happy Friday! I don't think there is any better feeling knowing it's 5 o'clock on a Friday and you have the whole weekend ahead of you.
Each Friday, I will be posting five tips to keep you relevant in the business world and to maintain a kick ass career, boss style.
To start off, there are a few things you will always want to keep current no matter where you are in your career.
Resume
Your resume is your story to future employers and you always want to keep it fresh and current with what you're doing. Make sure that you remove things are outdated. You're employer doesn't need to know that you were a Scout Master in the Girl Scouts back in 1988.
"Me" File
That Employee of the Month Certificate or that kick ass review you earned five years ago, you should definitely keep those things. I call it a "Me" file. All those things that make up the high points are important to keep for those moments where you may be feeling low.
Business Cards
No matter where you go, you should always be able to market yourself as a viable business person. Whether they are company issued business cards or personal ones made on Vista Print, keep them in your purse at all times! You never know when a connection you make could turn into a serious career opportunity.
Linkedin
Ah, the Facebook of the working world. Keep your profile up to date with a current picture. Don't just create a profile and never look at it again either. There are great networking opportunities and articles that are out there via Linkedin .
Interview Outfit
You want to feel your best in an interview and the worst thing is pulling a suit out of the back of your closet to find it doesn't fit. Panic. Keep your wardrobe current and always keep an interview outfit readily available. Pick something that makes you feel like the strong and powerful woman you are!
I hope you all have a fabulous and relaxing weekend!
