The first day of spring is almost here! If you’re like us, as soon as the weather gets warmer, the urge to start a thorough spring cleaning kicks in. Before you re-organize the house or work on the yard, why not take a moment to clean up your career?
Clean up your social media. LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter are useful career tools if you use them right. Update your LinkedIn profile with your latest accomplishments and make sure your Facebook and Twitter pages reflect the image you want to project. Use your social media profiles to share your accomplishments and connect with inspiring users.
Organize your business cards. We exchange those little cards constantly, but so often they end up at the bottom of a bag, lost in our car, or forgotten in a coat pocket. You never know when someone’s contact information will come in handy, so make finding it easier on yourself and straighten up all those cards. If you’re not a fan of the old-fashioned rolodex, try downloading an app for your smartphone like ABBYY Business Card Reader, CamCard, or WorldCardMobile.
Build on your knowledge. Successful people are open to learning new ideas and skills. Continental Title Company offers continuing education courses for anyone involved in the title and real estate industries. Sign up for a course and expand your knowledge of your field! Connect with Continental Title Company on social media and stay tuned for more details.
Rethink your schedule. The holiday season is long past us and we’ve all had plenty of time to fall into a predictable routine. How do you spend your time during your workday? Identify your priorities and allow yourself the time to give them the attention they deserve.
Get rid of paper clutter. Do you have desk drawers you never even open anymore because they’re so stuffed with folders? Can you only use one half of your desk because the other half is covered with piles of paper? Set aside some time at the end of your day to recycle all those papers you don’t need anymore or file them neatly.
