Top Five Reasons to Say YES! in 2015

Keep your mind open to saying YES! around the office in 2015. You never know when a well-placed YES! can open the door to fabulous new possibilities! So even if you’re feeling overwhelmed and like taking on one more thing would be akin to torture, don’t miss what saying YES! could do for your career in five key circumstances.

Say YES! to…

Volunteering for projects. When the boss asks for extra hands on a project, really any project will do, but take special heed to volunteer for the tough or unpleasant ones. You’ll not only have the opportunity to show off your mad skills, but you’ll be seen as a go-getting team player who isn’t afraid to take responsibility.
Broadening your horizons. Try to learn something new every day. It’s easier than you think: you can read news websites, browse Wikipedia, or just fall down one of the many rabbit holes available on the internet. Try Googling the first word that comes to mind. Chatting with friends, family, or colleagues can also bring interesting new stories to light. So try to take your brain on a new journey every day. It never hurts to be a more knowledgeable, worldly person.
Joining a professional organization. Networking, anyone? Professional organizations are great ways to meet new people and share industry ideas. Immersing yourself among like minds can help keep you current, active, and engaged. And networking can open the door to job opportunities!
Checking off a long-term goal. Maybe you’d like to start a professional social media presence, turn a hobby into a side business, or finally learn how to do more than sums in Excel. Whatever your goal, and whether it’s personal or professional, stop putting it off and do it! You’ll feel positive and more confident for having improved yourself.
Embracing your career ambitions. What’s really keeping you from taking the next step? Stress? Money? Fear? You might find the villain in the battle for your dreams is YOU! But excuses and self-sabotage won’t get you where you want to go, so cast them aside and say YES! to fulfilling your career ambitions. Devise a road map and follow the steps until you reach your destination. It may not happen overnight, but it starts with saying YES! to commitment.

Say YES! to becoming a stronger professional in 2015. We can’t wait to see where the year takes you!

Stop! and hire this candidate
