New Years Resolutions – A lot of us make them, but how many of us actually stick to them?
It always seems like a good idea to approach the new year with a big optimistic career plan about how we’re going to use it as a fresh start, to become better, more successful people; whether it be by landing your dream job, getting a promotion or getting a degree.
But nearly a year on, I wonder how these ground breaking goals have really panned out.
Here are a few examples of some of the most common new years resolutions that people make about their careers each year vs. a more realistic take on them!
DREAM: I will land my dream job this year!
REALITY:
Do a better job of pretending to look for a job.
