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.

Be proactive and find advocates to help you advance in your career.

Taking risks at work (i.e., tackling a project no one else wants to touch) can improve your career as long as the risk is closely tied to your goals. 

Depending on your position at work and your industry, it may be wise not to disclose the details of your divorce to work colleagues.

After an interview, take that extra step and write a thank you note highlighting why you’re the best candidate for the job.
