One of the 5 P’s of Life is “Profession” – your work, whether you work for someone or are self-employed. If you’re not satisfied with your work life, then take control and make changes. Set goals for this aspect of life by stretching your skills and expanding your network. Every Wednesday, we offer tips via Twitter to help you with your work life. Below are tips we tweeted last month.

Get work done by turning off email notifications – if that fails, download a program to pause emails.

After receiving a job offer, pause and evaluate the role and benefits – you may need to negotiate or decline.

If using a cover letter make it less than one-page, to the point, and specific.

Block off time after each networking event to follow-up with new connections.
