It's all about you

One of my favorite statements is: "It's all about me!"  In this case, it is all about you.   How you are perceived and perceive things.  Whether you are actively looking for employment or just mildly struggling with the sense that your current career path is not satisfying enough so as to motivate you take inventory of your situation.  

How are you being perceived by others?  What is your perception of your industry, career path or your abilities?  Now ask yourself, are they accurate?  Do you work on your faults to turn them into your strengths so you can be considered an asset?  Do you consider how you can increase your visibility within an employer or "assume" there is no career growth for you?  

Are you professional?  Or do you look professional but lack substance?  My comments are meant to spur you into action.  When will you accept responsibility for your career and act?

Because it is ALL ABOUT YOU!
