This type of articles show up almost everyday, and I try to read them all. I look for little nuggets of information that will help me get my next Marketing Manager position. Kimberly Fusaro who wrote the article for Woman's Day talks not only about getting a job, but what we should and shouldn't do after.
The first point she talks about is the Google search on a candidates name. I have worked hard on getting my name on the first three pages of Google. I am careful not to have personal information show up and keep it on a professional level. I protect my privacy on Facebook knowing it is a personal use of social media. Yes, some people use it as part of their marketing tools but I choose not to.
Tip: When you comment on another person's Facebook page and they do not use the same privacy settings as you do, it will still show up in Google. So watch what you say on your friends page!
Number 10 was interesting because you hope that when you do well your supervisor remembers it forever. According to this article, you only get three to six months to utilize the good work. But, when you make a mistake they say it can last for years. This is a point where every time you get a positive email from your supervisor, print it, put it in a file and use it when you are looking for that promotion. Remind them how great you really are.
I encourage you to click on the link to the article and see if there are any points maybe you already know, but need reminding of.
