It’s the perfect time for planting flowers, decluttering and spring cleaning.  It’s also the perfect time to “spring clean” your career.* **Step 1 – Your Resume** - Dust off your old resume and spruce it up.  - Write clear, concise and catchy descriptions for your job duties.  - Create bold headings and use color and images. - Keep your resume to 1 page (or 2 pages maximum) for better readability. - If necessary, hire a professional to help make your resume stand out in the crowd. **Step 2 – Your Perspective** - Improve how you feel about your appearance by updating your wardrobe to new spring fashions. - If you wear a uniform to work, have them professionally cleaned, or purchase new ones to brighten your look. - Update your hair by getting it cut, adding color, or changing the way you wear it. - Take the stairs or go for a daily walk. - Wear a smile. **Step 3 – Your Work Space/Email** - Get organized – use an inbox/outbox system in your workspace to decrease clutter. - Throw out old items you no longer use – ie, pencils, pens, etc. - Add a small plant or a personal picture to enhance your mood. - Go through your email inbox and create folders for important documents.  - Delete your trash bin and clear out junk mail. **Step 4 – Your Lifestyle** - Audit your work/life balance. Take time out for yourself. - Examine your career goals – are you working towards your passion? - Take stock of your current finances.  How can you increase?  Where can you cut back? - Increase your communication skills. - Take inventory of your time management abilities. **Step 5 – Your Education** - Consider a continuing education course related to your field. - If you’re unhappy in your career, take a chance on a new one.  Research educational requirements in the new field. - Become certified. - Attend webinars/seminars to improve your knowledge of your career. - Take a personal development course.
