End of Year Performance Reviews – when approaching these reviews, it is important to carefully document all of your accomplishments during the past year. Don’t assume that your employer/manager will remember or have this information in front of them during your meeting. Have your accomplishments itemized on a piece of paper or on your phone and be ready to articulate clearly and effectively what you’ve done over the past year. Doing your job is great, but how did your contributions influence the team and extend to other areas of the business, ultimately impacting the bottom line. Be prepared and speak up!

Interviews can be quite intimidating if you’re not prepared for them. Practice makes perfect, and this applies to interviews as well. Don’t be like Allen Iverson 😉 I’ve interviewed countless candidates over my time as a Professional Recruiter and I’ve coordinated even more with my clients. Those who came out on the successful end of the interview stick were those who were prepared, took it seriously, and did their preliminary research.
