Career Tools

Optimize Your Resume

Ensure your resume is current, properly formatted and highlights your knowledge, skills, and work experience.

Network

Networking is the most effective strategy to land a new job and advance your career. Reach out to your inner circle and centers of influence, before other contacts. Show interest in others. Build a wide virtual network of friends, colleagues, and contacts with business networking sites such as LinkedIn to showcase your resume and credentials.

Invest in Training (Virtual or Onsite)

Take advantage of onsite and virtual seminars to upgrade your skills and certifications.  If your employer does not provide training, go it alone to ensure your upward mobility on the job.
