Again, some words of wisdom from theladder<\/a> newsletter. I usually, take a stock of my career every three years \u2013 putting some thought on: Where I am, Where I need to go, my strengths and my weaknesses. However, these questions below that Marc gave in his newsletter could be used very profitably to do an honest analysis in detail!<\/p>\n

\n

Titles:<\/strong>
Does my current title reflect my current duties?
If not, what can I do to change it?<\/p>\n

Resume:<\/strong>
Is my resume current?
When was the last time it was updated?
Is it still focused for the type of work I want to do in the future?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Compensation:<\/strong>
Do I know what my entire compensation package is?
Is that written down?
What do I want it to be?<\/p>\n

Learning and Development:<\/strong>
What new skills or knowledge do I need and want to learn?
Why do I need these skills?
How and when can I learn them?<\/p>\n

Achievements:<\/strong>
What are my primary achievements in my current and\/or past jobs?
How are they measurable?
Do I have any documentation?<\/p>\n

References:<\/strong>
Who would I use for references if I\u2019m looking for a new job?
When was the last time I talked with them?
If I don\u2019t know where they are, how can I find them?<\/p>\n

Networking:<\/strong>
Who are my professional peers?
Where can I meet them?
Who should I be talking to within my company?<\/p>\n

Career Mentor:<\/strong>
Do I have a mentor?
If not, how can I get one?
Can I be a mentor for someone else?<\/p>\n

Career Review:<\/strong>
How will I evaluate myself quarterly? Yearly?
Am I clear on my current goals? Write them down!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
