Ten Tips on Career Advancement
Many career experts agree that the best time to look for a
new job is while you are still comfortably in your old one.
If you’re starting to feel unchallenged in your present
position, you may be ready for a promotion to the next
level. If there aren’t many career advancement opportunities
where you work, the best next job may be waiting for you
elsewhere.
Nowadays, it’s up to you to take control of your
professional future and make sure that you are progressing
wisely down the right career path. Here are 10 proven
strategies to help you get started:
1. Talk to your boss. Sit down and have a
very direct and pointed conversation with your boss about
your future in the company. Stress that you want your job
performance to meet the company’s goals. Share your own
career goals with him or her. Your boss will respect this
display of confidence and maturity.
2. Ask for more. Volunteering to help out
other departments or teams — or simply asking for more
responsibilities — increases your value within the
organization. Asking for additional work shows an interest
and desire to help your department and company to succeed.
It also puts a spotlight on your value to the business.
3. Volunteer for boards. If you have your
career set on something beyond what you are doing in your
present position, seek out opportunities to volunteer or
serve on advisory boards, where you can build a reputation
as someone who is passionate and dedicated to your
particular industry.
4. Sharpen your people skills. Strong
interpersonal skills play a crucial role in gaining the
respect of your boss and coworkers; they will also attract
the notice of outside influencers who might open new doors
of opportunity for you. Be friendly, outgoing, and
personable. Listen carefully to people, and practice being a
clear and effective communicator.
5. Be innovative. Never be afraid to think
outside of the box and put your business acumen to work.
Stay on the lookout for creative solutions to problems that
will make you — and your boss — look good.
6. Find a mentor. Develop mentoring
relationships, either inside or outside the company. Recent
studies have shown that four out of five promotions are
influenced by a mentor higher up in the company. Mentors are
also great sources of information and career guidance.
7. Sell yourself. Learn the fine art of
self-promotion. If you have had major accomplishments or
created successful programs, make sure people know about it
— especially those in influential positions who could help
you advance professionally. Let it be known that you are
seeking a promotion or the next step up in your career.
8. Keep learning. A proven way to advance
in your career is to be continually acquiring new knowledge.
Stay on top of trends or developments in your field and make
sure that your current résumé reflects those needed skills.
9. Network. Strengthen your personal
network and join professional organizations, attend industry
conferences, or even volunteer. The more people who are
aware of your strengths and abilities, the better your
chances of hearing about any new opportunities that might
arise.
10. Build your reputation. In business,
your reputation is the most valuable thing you own. Be known
for being dependable, professional, and cooperative. Act and
look the part by dressing professionally. Make a name for
yourself by attending conferences, delivering speeches, or
writing articles.

Not to Wear to an Interview
Top 20 Wardrobe Malfunctions
CareerBuilder.com
What is the worst outfit ever worn to a job interview?
According to a CareerBuilder.com survey of hiring managers,
include candidates with dirty fingernails, micro-miniskirts,
t-shirts with offensive slogans and even bare feet!
1. Carrying a backpack or fannypack instead of a briefcase
or portfolio: Some image consultants suggest women ditch
their purse, too!
2. Sunglasses on top of your head or headphones around your
neck: Be sure to remove all your "transit gear" and tuck it
in your briefcase before entering the lobby.
3. Too-short skirts: Forget what some of those gals on 'The
Apprentice' are wearing. Your skirt should cover your thighs
when you are seated.
4. The wrong tie: Ties should be made of silk, no less than
three and a quarter inches wide with a conservative pattern.
Image consultants say the best colors are red or burgundy.
5. Overly bright or large-patterned clothing: With the
possible exception of creative fields like advertising or
computer programming, it's best to stick with navy, black or
gray.
6. Heavy makeup on women (or any makeup on a man)
7. Earrings on men: In fact, men should avoid wearing any
jewelry unless it is a wedding ring, class ring or metal
watch.
8. More than one set of earrings on women
9. Facial piercings, tongue jewelry or visible tattoos
10. Ill-fitting clothes. Few people can wear things straight
off the rack. Spending a little extra to have your garments
tailored is a worthwhile investment.
11. Long fingernails, especially with bright or specialty
polishes. Nails should look clean and be trimmed to a length
that doesn't leave an observer wondering how you keep from
stabbing yourself.
12. Unnatural hair colors or styles. Remember, Donald Trump
was a billionaire well before he began wearing a comb-over.
If you're balding, try a close-cropped cut like Bruce Willis
or Matt Lauer.
13. Short-sleeved shirts, even worse when worn with a tie
14. Fishnets, patterned hosiery or bare legs (no matter how
tan you are). Women should stick with neutral color hosiery
that complements their suit.
15. Men whose socks don't match their shoes, or whose socks
are too short and leave a gap of flesh when they are seated
16. Rumpled or stained clothing: If interviewing late in the
day, try to change to a fresh suit beforehand.
17. Scuffed or inappropriate footwear, including sneakers,
stilettos, open-toed shoes and sandals
18. Strong aftershaves, perfumes or colognes: Many people
are allergic to certain scents. For a subtle fragrance, use
a good quality bath soap.
19. Belts and shoes that don't match: Shoes and belts should
be made of leather or leather-like materials and the best
colors for men are black or cordovan.
20. Telltale signs that your wearing a new suit. Remove all
tags and extra buttons -- and remember to cut off the zigzag
thread that keeps pockets and slits closed!
Don't be a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Plan and
lay out what you're going to wear several days before the
interview, so you'll have time to shop or get garments
pressed and cleaned.
Save "innovative" or revealing garb for the club (or your
couch) and strive for crisp, clean and professional.
Remember, you want the interviewer to be listening to what
you're saying, not critiquing what you're wearing.
