LOOKING FORWARD TO 2014

2013 ends in about seven hours. Another year has come and will be gone in hours. I'm still very passionate about "INSPIRING the NEXT" - changing lives and making a difference.
What drives me? It's seeing my clients' happy, smiling faces when they receive interview invites and then job offers - offers that are beyond their expectations. That's enough for me to continue writing my "Successful Resumes" story and strive my utmost best to "INSPIRING the NEXT".

Have you taken stock of what you did in 2013? Have you achieved what you set out to do at the beginning of 2013? Do you still have a lot of "WHAT IF" lingering in your mind?

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is courage that counts." Winston Churchill
Be courageous! Begin 2014 with big, bold plans. Go after that job that you have always wanted. It's now or never. The longer you wait in the wings, the harder it gets. Age, for one, is fast catching up.

Writing your ideal job description in the form of a resume is one of the simplest, most powerful step you can take to advance your career. However, writing a resume that not only sells you but also changes your life is not as simple as you think. Those who try the DIY method will tell you of their miserable results. Seek the services of a professional specialising in resume and employment service consulting. Make this your plan and as a priority for 2014. It's also good to remember that jobsearch is all about building relationships

TAKING STOCK

2013 is ending real soon - faster than you thought!
It's time of the year that you took stock of your success and achievements [or failures] for 2013. Ask yourself honestly and plainly what you have achieved. Have you met the goals/targets that you set?
Consider, for a moment, your salary for 2013. Is it:
1. Onion salary - You grab it, open it and you cry.
2. Storm salary - You don't know when it's coming or going.
3. Menstrual salary - It comes once a month and lasts only three miserable days.
4. Magic salary - You touch it and it disappears.
What is yours? Take a moment and compare it against other tax residents'.
Now, take stock and as you ponder what you really want to accomplish and what you want to be rewarded for 2014 and beyond, you may consider a career change. There are still plenty of highly rewarding opportunities out there in the job market. It's time you reviewed your resume and readied it for your next move. Do you have a resume that not only makes you stand out from the ordinary but also on your own resume?

Productivity Lecture by Michael A Podolinsky

Was much honoured to have been invited by PSB Academy to its annual Lunch and Learn lecture series Was very much inspired by lecture delivered by Michael Podolinsky - touted as Asia's productivity guru. If any one has a chance to attend and participate in Podolinsky's lecture or training programme, one should make it a point to attend. He's a very inspiring and proactive trainer and mentor. If you can.t,  then read his books.
Pictured here is me with Michael Podolinsky.
