Resume Toolkit:

Good (and Bad) Action Words

The cliche “it’s not what you say, but how you say it” rings true when it comes to resumes. Stating that you’re “friendly” on a resume may tell an employer you are approachable, but may also imply you are chatty... not such a good thing. Better to say you have strong interpersonal skills or that you work well inde-pendently and in a team setting.Read on to found out what other words work on a resume ... and which ones don’t!Active WordsEmployers respond well to phrases that demonstrate action on your part in past work situations: increased, implemented, lowered, led, managed, negotiated, presented, tested.Resumes for Dummies suggests the following are good action words for describing communication and creative skills: Addressed, clarified, created, de-signed, developed, directed edited, enabled, initiated, launched, lectured, produced, projected, realized, re-ported, shaped, translated, wrote.ExamplesWhen using these words remember to include spe-cific examples. A future employer wants to know how much you lowered costs, how many staff you managed and how much you increased sales through the ad campaign you created. Numbers are usually a good way to do this: lowered absentee rate by 10%, increased night shift production levels by 12%.If you don’t have an impressive example to back up a particular skill, consider replacing it with another. DO NOT embellish to make an impression. Lying on a resume can be embarrassing if you are caught, and can be a reason for termination if it is discovered after you are hired.KeywordsKeywords, simple phrases common to specific ca-reers, are becoming a crucial addition to many re-sumes, especially those posted on the Internet or sent via e-mail. More and more job search web sites like Monster and Workopolis now use “tags” or specific lists of words to search resumes, allowing employers to narrow down the number they actually read.

If your resume does not contain the key industry phrases an employer is looking for, it is likely your application will never even make it to the inbox, re-gardless of whether or not you have the proper skills. An employer will also scan resumes for these key-words when creating an interview list from a stack of resumes.So what are these keywords? It depends on your in-dustry or the kind of position you are looking for. The key words for a graphic artist could be much different than those of a medical technician. According to the article Resume Keywords: Four Tips to Get your Resume Noticed by Gretchen Ledgard, the first place to look for good keywords is in the job ad. “Read the job description for “must have” skills. These qualifications will give you an idea of what a recruiter will be searching on.”Another way to find out the common keywords in a specific career sector is to do a little research. Read industry newspapers or web sites. Network at indus-try events and ask questions about how others de-scribe their skills to see if common phrases pop up.Phrases to avoidWhen choosing your words, avoid phrases that don’t serve any real purpose on a resume. Employers may see them as a waste of space. For Example: Vague Statements Participated in, aided in, assisted with, facilitated These phrases take up space but do not offer insight into your specific skills -- employers want to know what you did specifically.SuperlativesEffectively; rapidly; easily; skillfully; expertlySince you don’t usually highlight failures on your re-sume, an employer will assume if you list something on your resume it’s a skill or task you did success-fully. Superlatives like these don’t offer much to an employer and may come off like bragging. Finally Ledgard notes that while employers tend to favour people with good “soft skills” they rarely en-ter them in as search terms for resume databases. You may want to keep to a minimum terms like: good team player, positive attitude, good personality, excel-lent manners.

American actress Mae West is quoted as saying, “The best way to behave is to misbehave.” That may “The best way to behave is to misbehave.” That may have worked for Mae West, but it won’t work on the have worked for Mae West, but it won’t work on the job. Most companies want behaviour that inspires job. Most companies want behaviour that inspires productivity, performance, and, of course, profit.productivity, performance, and, of course, profit.

Defined as observable activity in people and Defined as observable activity in people and animals, behaviour can be broken into five categories:animals, behaviour can be broken into five categories:

1. Behaviour is observable.1. Behaviour is observable. An employee comes An employee comes in late, doesn’t complete assigned tasks and takes in late, doesn’t complete assigned tasks and takes every opportunity to enjoy a break. As a manager, you every opportunity to enjoy a break. As a manager, you observe these behaviours and probably get ticked off. observe these behaviours and probably get ticked off. Your emotions get you grumbling, making comments Your emotions get you grumbling, making comments to stimulate a change and adding stress to your life.to stimulate a change and adding stress to your life.

But do you take action? Wait. Don’t let your But do you take action? Wait. Don’t let your emotions rule. Instead, observe these behaviours and emotions rule. Instead, observe these behaviours and put a plan in place to find out why the employee is acting this way. There may be a logical reason.

2. Behaviour is situation-based and can vary from one situation to the next. The person who is a star employee in one situation can be dead weight in another. If someone’s performance varies that much, you need to stop and assess the situation to determine what causes the variance.

Does the new task require a giant performance leap? Have you truly given adequate and proper direction? Have you allowed the opportunity to ask questions?3. Behaviour can be flexible, even within a single situation. You give an employee a task and feel he’s on the right path, then you notice things aren’t getting done. Flexible behaviour can indicate a variety of things, including lack of knowledge, lack of motivation, reluctance to change, or other problems that require further investigation.

4. Behaviour is dynamic and always changing. While psychologists may say behaviour patterns are set at a very young age, we continue to change and adjust our behaviour throughout our lives. Family situations, financial crises, physical or mental challenges and something as simple as boredom all affect our behaviour.

Is the once-dynamic employee bored with her job? How about your fantastic team leader? Have you made changes that are negatively affecting his performance?

5. Our behaviour is based on our thoughts and beliefs. Pause for a moment and think back to when you were a teenager. Do you have the same beliefs today? Probably not, particularly if you’re the owner of the business, and you’re trying to motivate your employees to have the same degree of enthusiasm you have. Could anyone but you motivate you when you were a teenager? No. You were motivated when someone inspired you to complete a task or take on a new job.

As a leader, your job is to inspire employees so they have the same vested interest in doing a great job and moving the company forward as you do.Leader, heal thyself first

When you look at these five categories, remember, as the leader, when inappropriate behaviour gets in the way, you own part of the problem. It may be only five percent, but it’s a part. When you tackle behaviour issues, recognize your contribution and deal with it first.

Did you communicate what you wanted clearly? Did you wait to respond to questions for clarification? Are your procedures clear and still appropriate for the changing work environment? Are you an absent leader?

The admonition lead by example is as old as time, but it’s still true. Discover the problem, keep your emotions in check and put a plan in place. Your people need to see you and hear you. Your behaviour has to match what you’re expecting of others.Attitude has many meanings

Make sure you define the problem behaviour correctly. Have you ever grumbled about an employee having a poor attitude? Attitude is an umbrella word. It’s not behaviour. It has many meanings, depending on who’s using the word.

To you, attitude means the employee doesn’t care about his work; to your customer, it means she receives slow service at the counter; and to your employee, it means no one seems to care what he does. In the employee’s mind, the boss’s attitude needs work. Who looks at your behaviour and asks for corrections?

For many, the month of September means “back to school.” If you’re considering pursuing post-secondary educa-tion in Ontario, there is a sea of high-quality choices available to you. While most are familiar with the functioning of universities and community colleges, you might be surprised at what career colleges have to offer.

Career colleges have been providing quality post-secondary education in Ontario for over 140 years. Now, with over 600 campus locations across the province and a variety of program offerings, it’s no wonder that every year more than 60,000 students in Ontario choose to attend a career college.

Here are the top 6 reasons a career college might be the right � t for you:

1. Variety of career specifi c programsWith programs ranging from com-puter technology to personal support worker; policing to hair styling; and massage therapy to paralegal, there is something for everyone no matter which career path you are interested in.

2. Shorter durationThe length of career college programs range from a few months to under two years with an aver-age duration of 9 months, getting you into the career you choose quickly.

3. Continuous intakeIf you’re not ready to start class-es in September, career college programs have start dates year-round. Many schools even

offer programs with monthly in-takes, so you can decide what tim-ing works best for you.

4. Age rangeAlthough some choose to attend a career college directly out of high school, the average age of a career college student is 27 and 30 per cent are over the age of 35. The variety of age groups ensures you’ll � t in no matter what the date on your birth certi� cate reads.

5. Smaller class sizesDue to small annual enrolments and continuous intakes, stu-dent-teacher ratios are very low allowing for more personalized in-struction.

6. Close to homeThere’s no need for long commutes! With over 600 career college campuses dotted across the province in small, medium, and large communities, there is likely a career college just down the street from where you live.

If you think a career college is the right � t for you, � nd a registered career college near you by using the Service Ontario web-site. Book a college tour to get a feel for what it would be like going back to school at an Ontario career college.

Established in 1973, the

Ontario Association of Career

Colleges is a provincial voice for career col-

leges. OACC has over 280 members who

contribute to the province’s economy by

training a majority of the 60,000 students

who enroll in career colleges annually in

hundreds of essential, skilled � elds. Visit

our website at www.oacc.ca or � nd us on

WorkplaceSabotage

– Don’t be a victim

Stop the madness. What is happening to us? Can’t we all just get along? Wishful thinking during a time when competition, downsizing and restructuring has made the workplace a breeding ground for sabotage. It’s no secret that the workplace is no longer the warm and comfortable environment it once was. These days it’s wise to know your friends and enemies in the workplace. It’s sad to say but not everyone is going to be your friend. This is not to create paranoia, but to encourage you to watch your back – you never know when a saboteur may strike. In Washington DC, restructuring drove worker(s) to in-tentionally tamper with the wiring of seven 737 Boeing jets under construction at an assembling plant in 2001. The Boeing sabotage probe gained North American at-tention and became a criminal investigation. However, in most cases acts of retaliation are not as severe as the 737 Boeing incident. More often, a saboteur’s target is a fellow co-worker or boss, not the organization. Saboteurs are relentless in provoking the target and find-

ing the right opportunities to undermine the sitting duck. At this point, you may be wondering what kind of sneaky things will a saboteur do? There are countless reports of sabotage in the workplace. “Someone at work removed work I completed on a chart, so I looked incompetent,” says a nurse. “Thank goodness another colleague was there to verify that the work was originally on the chart.” A social worker indicates that she was suppose to lead a focus group when a co-worker tried to take over the meeting in an attempt to belittle her. Also, a call center representative trying to move up in his organization, by entering its mentoring program indicates his dream of be-coming a marketer is put on hold when the mentor took his marketing idea after the first meeting and failed to re-spond to his additional request for mentoring sessions.

Here are a few other ‘Watch Out’ examples of under-mining that could threaten a person’s reputation in the workplace:

•removinginformationoffadocumentwrittenbya co-workerorboss•deletingaperson’sfilesoremails•taperecordingwithoutpermission•tamperingwithmachinery,computersystemsor officeequipment•makingfalseaccusations•spreadingfalserumorsaboutanindividualor organization•isolatingaco-worker•takingovertheleadofameetingthatwasn’tyours

No matter what ugly shape or form sabotage takes, its sneaky, conniving and aggressive intentions can set someone up for failure. According to Dr. Judith Briles’s article in the Denver Busi-ness Journal in 2002, sabotage can be done intentional or unintentional and it can be delivered in an overt or co-vertly manner. She says it is the act of undermining or de-stroying personal or professional integrity; it creates may-hem in personal or professional lives. Usually, it fosters a lack of cooperation resulting in retaliation and it damages one’s credibility. A saboteur can create a highly stressful and toxic work environment. Often tearing down the fabric of an orga-

nization or an individual. Whether you are a manager or employee you have to deal with sabotage and undermin-ing activities. If not there is a price to pay – less productiv-ity, low morale, resignation(s) and most of all, money.

It’s important to know how to identify a saboteur in your workplace. Here are warning signs offered by Dr. Brile:

• Saboteurs are superb messengers and can hardly wait to pass on discrediting information• Saboteurs keep a tally sheet – keep track of your mistakes and share them with other co-workers or manager• Saboteurs interchange friends and allies continually• Saboteurs will take credit whenever possible and discount or steal your ideas or contribution• Saboteurs appear to be too helpful – they assist their colleagues even when their own work is not completed• If your machinery appears inoperable or if computer files are missing – saboteurs want you to ask for help to start up again

The goal of the saboteur is to weaken their opponent. Ladies! Beware of your female co-workers. They are more likely to choose you as a target over their male counterpart. On the other hand, men are not so choosy in selecting their target. Men are bold when undermining co-workers. They let you to know you’re the target. On the contrary, women are backstabbing in carrying out the deed, leaving you to question who caused the action.If a saboteur comes your way, what recourse should you take? Here are five steps.

Step 1: Have a one-on-one discussion with saboteur.Step 2: It’s your manager’s responsibility to sort out the situation. So bring it to her or his attention.Step 3: Document the actions and report it to Human Re-sources. It may add to the credibility of your allegation.Step 4: Participate in a conflict resolution mediation ses-sion.Step 5: Leave the situation or drop the conflict altogether.

Most of all know your organization’s Human Resource guidelines and policies to protect employees. Be careful – halt sabotage before it gets out of hand.

Nice to Smell You Whether it's eau de cigarette or an

overgenerous splash of Obsession, your smell plays a significant role in a job interview. In fact, it may be a deciding factor in giving you a job -- so don't go overboard. The best idea is to go scentless -- have a shower, put on clean clothes and deodorant -- and keep it simple. Some people are allergic to perfume and other scents -- you really don't want to find out during the job interview that your potential boss is one of them.

20 Seconds "Hello, hire me please! I'll do anything.

Anything. Please?!" That's nice, but maybe the opening line of your cover letter should be slightly catchier. Actually, it should be as catchy as it is well-written -- the opener should hook the employer in right away. Too cute or too dull ("I would like to apply for the position of an administrative assistant") will land your cover letter and your resumé in a pile. The one in the garbage, that is. You have about 20 seconds to impress so make sure you start impressing right from the start.

Research Before You Interview Applying to a company you're clueless

about is a lot like going on a blind date. You have no idea if you actually have anything in common, you clam up, and, before you know it, your chances are ruined. Research the company you're after -- know its history, products and competitors -- so you ask the right questions and learn more about the organization. Make the best first impression and you might get a second date, er, interview!

You, In 90 Words Or Less Beyond your resumé and your business

card, lies a combination of the two: an information card. Slightly bigger than a business card, you can hand out this little beauty while networking. It lets potential employers know your name and phone number and your key skills, such as fluency in two languages or web site design skills. Keep your information card professional looking with a clean background and a standard font, such as Arial.

Check Your References Remember how you told your evil boss

what you really think of him at that smashy-drunky Christmas party last year? Before you put his name down as a reference, you might want to talk to him about it first. You know, just to see if he really does have a short-term memory loss. Always check with potential references before giving out their names to ensure that you have the updated title and contact info and will get a good review instead of one that will cost you a job.

Please, No Novels Keep your cover letters short and

sweet. Employers don't need to know where you were born, what your favourite colour is and why you love salsa dancing (unless, of course, any of it is relevant to the job you’re applying for). Only state how your skills and experience fit the job you're applying to. Give employers a quick, well composed glance of who you are as an employee. It will increase the chance that they will move onto your resumé instead of tossing your application in the can.

Be a Go-to Person Printer jammed with paper? The fax

machine is scary? And how do you use a Blackberry? See, there's magic to operating office machines and while some are becoming obsolete, people with special skills of office arts can easily go beyond their call of duty. How? By knowing how to use faxes, fix printers, unfreeze computers or fedEx packages, set up a Blackberry or GPS. Learn old and new magic office tricks and become indispensable to your company.

Dress for Success Sure, jeans have come a long way, but

they're a no-no at job interviews unless, of course, you're applying for a VJ gig. Dress professional but think about where you're going to be working and plan your outfit. A conservative suit and tie may be great for a finance job but it may not sit so well with an ad agency. You can call your prospective place of employment and ask about their dress code. On the day of your interview, iron your freshly washed shirt, polish your shoes and turn off your cell phone. Shine!

Big, Sweet Lies Do you really know how to speak four

languages fluently? Can you actually build and design websites, fly airplanes and assist in surgery? No? It's never a good idea to say that you are good at something when in reality your experience is limited or nonexistent. When it comes to resumés and cover letters list the skills that you have and feel confident in. Mention your language proficiency but be honest about your skill level and you won't have to panic when the time comes -- and it will -- to back up your claim.

The Art of Quitting First, if you can, line up a new job

before you hand in your resignation. If that's not possible, at least do some research into your field to see the chances of getting hired. Give your soon-to-be-ex-employer enough notice and leave on the best possible terms possible. You want to get a good reference so don't walk out and slam the door behind you. Thank your employer and try to stay in touch -- you never know when it will be of help.

Gum Out Now Please spit it out before, seriously.

Chewing gum (or candy) at job interviews, job fairs, networking events, while talking to employers or recruiters is a big no-no. Even when you talk on the phone, we can hear you work your jaw into frenzy so get rid of the gum before you dial. Sure, it helps you to relax but your mouth moving constantly while you're not actually talking is a disturbing sight and makes you look nervous and unprofessional.

TMI Telling a potential employer that you talk

to spirits, believe in horoscopes and sleep in a coffin may be a little too much information -- unless you're applying for a job in a circus. Please use common sense when bringing things up in an interview -- if it doesn't seem necessary to talk about, then just don't. Your sex life, strange hobbies, a history of illnesses, and religious beliefs should not come up, unless it really would affect your job performance or it was a part of your, er, previous job experience.

The Objective of an Objective "My objective is to find a job in the

hospitality industry" is not a good objective when applying to a job in a particular restaurant. What does it say about you? Nothing. Your objective section should give an idea of who you are and let the employer know why you deserve the job. Cater it to the position. So what is your objective now? "A full-time server position at the Gladstone that will allow me contribute three years of experience as a waitress, a Smart Serve certificate and a healthy dose of cheerful personality."

Mock Up Before You Show Up Practice makes perfect so rehearse for

your job interview as if it were the most important play of your life (it just may be). The day before your interview, get a friend or a relative to ask you questions that may come up during the real interview. Practice your handshake, your pose and -- most importantly -- your answers until you are confident in saying them out loud. There's nothing worse than an interviewee who says "I have no clue" or who clams up from stress.

We Can't Picture This You know that saying, "paint a picture

with your resumé?" It doesn't mean "send a picture with your resumé." (Unless you are specifically asked to do so.) Your appearance has nothing to do with what you do. When you include your pic, you may invite unintentional assumptions. Employers are forbidden by law to discriminate job seekers based on their age, ethnicity, sex and any other distinguishing characteristics. A resumé with a picture attached to it, poking out of a pile, is much like a hot potato -- it will probably be dropped immediately.

There are many reasons why you could be in the market for a new job right now. Perhaps...

• You just graduated from high school--or even better, college and you’re ready to strike out on a quest for your first “real” job. • Your worst fears finally manifested and you’ve been down sized. • You’re bored with the career path you’ve been on for the past few years, and you’re ready to strike out in a new direction. • You want to change jobs (within your field) for better salary, benefits, or chance at promotion. Whatever your motivation, a powerful resume is essential. In truth, a resume alone won’t get you that dream job you’re craving. Not even if you implement every resume writing tip you can get your hands on! But a great resume will get you in the door for an interview. It will make you stand out as a superior candidate for the job you’ve applied for. And that achievement is huge, given the fierce competitive nature of today’s job market. Not only that, but a well-crafted resume will put the decision-maker you meet with in a hiring frame of mind. As long as you don’t blow the interview, you’ll have a great shot at that job! Digest and apply each resume writing tip below as you craft a powerful resume that will make all the difference in your adventure to land a job!

POWERFUL RESUME WRITING TIPS:

10 Steps to Success Resume Writing Tip #1: Gather your background materials. To complete your resume, you’ll need to know your dates of employment at each of your previous jobs and when you went to school. You’ll also need to be able to describe your skills and accomplishments on the job, so put some thought into those areas. Resume Writing Tip #2: Decide on a format. Before you can start writing a resume, you’ll need to decide if the functional or chronological format will work best for you. Remember, you want to put yourself and your abilities in the best light. Resume Writing Tip #3: Put together a general outline. A resume outline will help you get organized and will prevent you from overlooking any es-sential piece of information that should be included. Resume Writing Tip #4: If your resume is targeted at a specific employer or career path, learn all you can about what they need. Spending time on this research will help you with your resume, with the cover letter that goes with your resume, and with the upcom-ing interview. Make sure you know what qualities will most benefit the employer and think about how your abilities match those qualities. (Read another resume writing tip on how to target.) Resume Writing Tip #5: Plan, plan, plan. Before you actually start writing, spend time just thinking about how you’ll present yourself in the resume. What is your objective in seeking a job? This objective should

serve as a sort of bullseye to structure your resume around. What have been your most significant accomplishments? You’ll want to highlight them. What unique qualities do you bring to an employer? Think in terms of benefits. Also think about the resume design you’ll use, the fonts within, and the resume wording. Resume Writing Tip #6: Start writing, following your outline. Take your time. Use a lot of action words. Be concise. Don’t use “responsibilities included” or “responsible for.” It’s a waste of space. Use bul-lets, rather than long paragraphs. Resume Writing Tip #7: Cut and paste your content into your resume template. There is no reason why your resume must look amateurish. Resume Writing Tip #8: Review, edit, and proofread like a maniac. Two of the biggest resume mistakes are typos or grammatical errors. These er-rors may seem trivial, but they can cost you the interview and ultimately the job. After all, if you can’t be bothered to make sure that your resume is 100% accurate, what guarantee is there that your job performance will be high caliber? Resume Writing Tip #9: Get someone else you trust to look at it. It can be really help-ful to get someone who knows you to look at your resume. Not only are they more likely to catch simple errors, but they may point out strengths you’ve missed or underemphasized. Tell them you want their honest opinion and you’re open to questions. Use their input to clarify your resume. Even if you write your own resume, you may want to think about getting a professional to do a resume critique. Resume Writing Tip #10: Send it out into the world. The more resumes you submit, the more likely you are to get an interview. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket by applying for only one job. And, don’t be afraid to take some risks and apply for a job you’re interested in, even if you don’t quite match all the qualifications. Most employers ask for many more qualifications than they abso-lutely require.

Hopefully, at least one resume writing tip on this page has given you some food for thought. But don’t stop your training here!

Thousands of books have been published about leadership because millions of people have fantasies of being top dog.Former presidents, prominent military leaders, CEOs, academics and consultants of every stripe have written books about what it takes to be an exceptional leader.Think you’re leadership material? It’s worth finding out. While theories abound about what makes a great leader, it’s been proven that there is no guaranteed path preparing for it, and there aren’t a finite number of qualifications all great leaders share. But, there are traits common to great leaders.In Jack: Straight From the Gut , by Jack Welch, the superstar CEO who ran GE for 20 years defined leadership not by traits but by a model for success, which he called the “4 E Model.” Here are Welch’s four E’s:1. Energy. Leaders are high-energy

people. Every day, they unfailingly get up and move at warp speed, displaying the commitment to achieve and win.

2. Energizers. True leaders have a knack for inspiring and exciting others to perform and excel. They outline a vision and get people to carry it out. But they never take credit for anyone else’s ideas.

3. Edge. This is Welch’s word for “competitive.” Leaders learn how to make difficult decisions, whether they’re hiring, firing or promoting someone. They never allow the degree of difficulty to stand in their way.

4. Execute. Without measurable results, the other E’s are of little use, according to Welch. Executers recognize that activity and productivity are not the same, and they are capable of converting energy and edge into action and results.

10 traits of leadershipAntony Bell, author of Great Leadership: What It Is and What It Takes in a Complex World , lists the following 10 traits of leadership, plus suggestions for building each one.

Do you have any of these?1. Well-defined worldview. You can

articulate your standards for right and wrong. You have a sense of purpose, and you are the source of your own authority.

2. Self-aware. You recognize your limitations as well as your abilities.

3. Clear moral compass. Every decision you make is guided by proven universal values and ethics. The most obvious include integrity, equity, justice, commitment, trustworthiness, fidelity, loyalty, humility, industriousness and

respect.4. Humble. There is a selfless part of you

that sincerely enjoys helping and guiding others.

5. Thirst for growth. Not to be confused with a hunger for power. Great leaders are committed to lifelong learning.

6. Self-disciplined. Willing to work hard on improving yourself.

7. Focused. The ability to articulate a clear sense of direction and to maintain that direction.

8. Considerate of others. Not to be confused with being nice, caring for others involves a willingness to sacrifice for the well being of others.

9. Courageous. Great leaders have guts and the ability to take calculated risks to achieve goals.

10. Good communicator. The ability to paint compelling pictures with words.

Leadership traits of Oprah Winfrey and Lee IacoccaExecutive coach and author Marjorie Brody adds an additional four traits, which she says superstar leaders Lee Iacocca, Jack Welch and Oprah Winfrey share.1. Admit mistakes. Effective leaders understand the impact an apology can have on mending fences and moving forward.2. Stay close to the action. True leader’s go out of their way to be an active presence in their industry. They never rest on their laurels.3. Celebrate success. By the same token, accomplished leaders have the good sense to pause and celebrate their victories – not so much for themselves, but for their followers and their supporters because it builds morale and commitment.4. Trust is a priority. Ethical leaders build trust and support by being candid, truthful and consistent. To accomplish that, they have to be visible and approachable during both good and hard times.

Where do you stand?Do you share some or all of the above traits? If you do, develop and hone them. Look at the careers of the super-achievers in your field. IT people ought to be looking at groundbreakers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, to name two.Bob Weinstein is Editor-in-Chief at Troy Media. Reprinted with their permission.
