by Michelle A. Riklan, ACRW, CPRW, CEIC

Read my article, "5 Tools To 'Spring Clean' Your Resume" that was published on Careerealism.com: http://www.careerealism.com/resume-tools-spring-clean/

Are You Ready to Energize Your Engineering Career?

Do you love your job? Do you look forward to going to work every day? Or do you have to drag yourself out of your home to go to work every day?

If you are not happy with your job, you are not alone! Many professionals from the engineering and architectural background do not like their jobs but take no action. They daydream about a great job that would bring them the job satisfaction and the high salary they deserve, but still take no action. As you know, daydreaming does not solve your problem. Action is needed to turn that dream job in to reality.

So, are you ready to energize your career? If the answer is YES, I have the solution for you. Take the first step and attend a unique but free of charge 5-day, on-line telesummit called "Go Global" Career Telesummit. Click on the link below to see the details and sign up:

What Graduating Students Need to Know When They Are Entering the Workforce

Inspirational Thought

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
