Andy Warhol once said, "Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art."

 

We live in a time when constant focus on being the best in your field is of the utmost importance.  There is no longer a "secure" job or industry in the nation.  Businesses want to hire eager, creative candidates and keep those employees who excel in their jobs. 

 

TechRepublic.com released "11 Smart Career Tips for 2011," Here are couple of great tips:

  • Look out for #1 - Take responsibility for your career development.
  • Hone your communication skills - great communication makes for an excellent manager.  Learn to listen, make effective presentations and communicate with colleagues professionally.
  • Cross-over functionality - the best executives learned how to do multiple functions within their business.  Learn everything! Your knowledge increases your power!  

These are just a few career tips for 2011.  Click here to read the article
