by I was writing today over at one of my other HR blogging gigs: Talent Zoo. Great website for job seekers in media, communications and advertising. Here is a teaser:
I wish people would apply even 10% of Olympians’ efforts to maintaining and enhancing their career skills. The truth is, you need at least that much dedication, effort, and hard work to get promoted and get ahead today.
What does it take, though? How do you convince your company you are ready for bigger and better things?
So many:
– Be excited about your work.
– To be excited you’ve got to love what you do.
– Take on unpopular projects and do them well.
– Help everyone around you.
– Lead.
These behaviors will catch the attention of management. They in turn will give you greater responsibility to model the way of a bigger chunk of the organization.
