How to Turn 3 Career Resolutions Into Reality
By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter
January 2, 2013
Every year about this time many people begin making promises to themselves and others to create positive changes in their lives and careers. These
resolutions run the gamut from dropping a few pounds to getting a new job.
You can find plenty of help where your physique is concerned, but here, let's focus on your career goals.
According to a recent survey of employees from the jobs and career community Glassdoor, 32 percent say that a pay raise is among their top work-
related resolutions for 2013, while 2 percent admit their top work-related resolution for 2013 is to get their boss fired. Other notable resolutions included
looking for a new job (23 percent of employees), improving their performance rating given by their supervisor (21 percent), and attending work-related
training (16 percent).
Making resolutions is easy; putting them into action can prove to be more challenging. If you're ready to take action, read on for some helpful hints to
achieve those career goals you've set for 2013.
1. Your Resolution: Get a Pay Raise
Your action plan: Prove your value. Before asking your boss for more Hot Jobs
money, make certain you actually deserve it. If you can't point to at least three
facts proving your case, you've already lost. Your focus here should be to
present evidence that will make it difficult, if not impossible, for your boss to

the meeting. Telling him you simply need more money is the wrong way to go
about successfully getting more money. Using hard facts that prove your value
to the company will net your desired results much easier. Exton, PA
Have you been instrumental in improving the company's revenue? Prove it.  Data Entry
Did you make positive changes for your department? Prove it. Are Collegeville, PA
professionals with your level of experience or expertise earning more at other
companies? Prove it.  Telemarketing
The point is, if you are unable to provide documentation to backup your

2. Your Resolution: Get a Promotion
Your action plan: Stretch and learn. Start by taking on responsibilities and

2. 3. Your Resolution: Find a New Career
Your action plan: Research, prepare, and network. Begin by
investigating opportunities that interest you and find out what you
need to qualify for them. This can mean anything from additional
education to simply networking with those already in your
desired field.
Whatever path you choose, bear in mind it is never a good idea to
vacate your current position without securing a new one. Staying
put in a job you may wish to leave will prevent you from
accepting something less than you had hoped for out of sheer
desperation. Looking into other career opportunities while still
employed gives you a sense of confidence that will clearly shine
through during the interview process.
Also, earning a regular paycheck while job hunting gives you the
luxury of taking your time to seek out the best possible situation
for your career goals. Without it, you may end up doing
something you don't like just to keep a roof over your head and
food on the table; in which case, you will wind up right back
where you started.
Whatever your career resolutions happen to be for the new year,
many resources are available to those who truly desire to make a
significant change. Ultimately, you will have to be willing to put Kelly Services Fun Facts
forth the effort if you want to avoid letting another year go by
without accomplishing the greatness you know exists inside you.
