One of the 5 P’s of Life is “Profession” – your work. It’s what you do for a living – whether you work for a company or 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.

Be strategic with your career moves – don’t take a new job because it quickly helps you leave your current job – think big picture and how it will help you accomplish your overall professional aspirations.

If you’re a salesperson, stop using jargon – you’ll stand out and be heard if you simplify your message and listen to your prospect’s needs.

Before an interview, think about why you want the job and how you will benefit the company – knowing the answers to these two items will help you show enthusiasm without appearing desperate.

Becoming a caregiver while still working full-time is challenging – talk with your manager about flexibility, additional resources and adjusting deadlines.
