Hot Tips
Career Management is like a business plan. In this case you are the business and your goal is profit, not just financial. You need to evaluate your expectations from a job and weigh them against your life requirements. These are personal issues that we could not generalize on here. However, you must approach your career plan as if it was a business. Put to paper what you need and be ruthless in achieving it. Remember, you must provide benefit to any employer to achieve these objectives, you must deliver, and you must perform.
