As we approach year end, have you reflected on your professional accomplishments? Here are some profession tips we tweeted during November. Use these tips to help you achieve your professional goals – whether you’re still trying to achieve 2013 goals or setting new goals for 2014.

First impressions matter – pay attention to how you dress, your etiquette and how you speak.

Encourage employees to find more efficient ways to get the job done – it’ll show you value their ideas and opinions.

Before your company finalizes its 2014 budget, make sure you discuss your performance + 2014 salary with your manager.

If a meeting doesn’t go well, take time to reflect – NOT berate yourself – but reflect on how to improve for next time.
