12 Ways To Manager YOUR Career
Guest Curation written by Renee Shull. This is a great checklist-guide for career management and career development that I wanted to share with my readers. I added one more and that's why it's 13. :-)
I recommend you print off and use to assess where you're at as a new year activity and then create a plan to grow in the areas that are lacking. Perhaps we could add a subtitle a guide to career success!

- Establish positive work relationships with those around you. It’s up to you to take the initiative.
- Know your organization’s goals and purposes, so you can help to achieve them.
- Build a network of constructive, successful people in your workplace, and communicate with them frequently.
- Build a relationship with your boss based on genuine mutual interests, abilities and goals.
- Establish a reputation for reliability by completing assignments well and on time.
- Record and communicate your contributions. They are the building blocks of your career.

- Your greatest strengths are your passport to career. Practice them, build on them, and plan your career around them.

My comment to Renee:
Excellent advice Renee! As a fellow Career Advisor, I particularly like the one of recording , tracking what you do. Too many folks rely on their company/boss to do this for them via appraisals/performance reviews, which we know is sorely inadequate.
I would also add - #13: Identify and build credible rapport with the "power players" within a company. Sometimes it's not your boss. Power players are those who others listen to - those who have influence and may be able to advocate for you and/or your ideas.
