Quite often we reflect on our careers at the beginning of the New Year. January and February tend to be some of our busiest months as career coaches. Whether IU alumni are taking stock of their current career or they are completely dreading the return to work after the holiday break, we want to encourage you to think about it now. Kick-start your planning process in order to hit the ground running in 2017!
The holiday season can be a time to reflect on what your values and happy factors are in your current role. Are you playing to your strengths? Are your recognized for your contributions? Are you ready to kick it up a notch and negotiate a raise or a promotion? No matter where you are in your career journey, consider setting up an appointment now with our coaches to talk through any and all aspects of taking your career from good to great. The IUAA Career & Professional Development team has your back!

LinkedIn Tip of the Month
“95% of employers say personal appearance affects their opinion of an applicant’s suitability when being considered for a job.”
Often, your picture on LinkedIn is your first impression to other professionals. Make sure your headshot is professional and well taken, not copied from Facebook. You want to be perceived as polished, promotable, and recruitable.
