a profile of your ideal career

and employer include your

ideal corporate structure,management styles, industry

and corporate values.

employer to initiate discussions

about job performance and

expectations. Check in regularly,

out how youre doing and if you

managers expectations are the

same ones youre working on.

The better you get along withcoworkers, the easier your job will be

and the better youll perform. Its

much easier to work with folks if you

get along. Make an effort to put aside

personal differences for the sake of

your working relationship.

subordinates credit for their contributions with

coworkers can be fatal.

breathing you job is a sure-fire path

to failure. Youll bur out uickly if

activities for you and your coworkers.

lessons that you may have learned

from the situation.

love what you do, youll do itwell. If dont feel passionateabout something, I dont havetime to do it, Thats the filter I

use. Be just as selective; choose acareer and a job that you knowwill be personally fulfilling.
