Take ownership of your career. Don’t wait for someone to notice your work. Be bold and meet your company’s decision makers – but remember, first impressions stick so do your homework. Here are profession tips we tweeted last month to help you advance your career.

To advance your career in your company learn who the key decision makers are AND how decisions are made.

If you’re vying for a senior-level position with your firm, then pay attention to the profiles of executives who are there now.

If you’re on a conference call and not speaking, put your phone on mute to avoid background noise from being picked up.
