subject: New Career Mindset [print this page] Your personal skill set is entirely valuable, regardless of your background and experience. No matter what you've done in your career, no matter what company you've worked for or the jobs you've held, your resume has enormous value. Simply by scanning the job titles you've had, you'll begin to get a sense of what that value is. It's critical to give yourself credit where credit is due, particularly as you set about to consider new options and to evaluate new business opportunities. Don't shortchange yourself. By effectively leveraging what you've done in the past, you can literally accomplish anything you want to achieve in the future.
