5_Career_Driven_New_Years_Resolutions.jpgIt’s that time of year again! Time to set some goals and aspirations for the upcoming New Year.  While making resolutions is very motivational, many people make the mistake of setting goals that are just not realistic or attainable. Obstacles may arise, like time constraint, financial instability, or simply lack of motivation. That’s why New Year’s resolutions that are career-driven are always a good place to start. Career-driven resolutions will positively impact your life, without having to open your wallet. Here are five career-driven resolutions that you should consider taking on for 2017.

1. Arrive on Time

A great resolution that you can set for yourself is to arrive on time to your workplace. While this may be difficult for some, this is something that every candidate can achieve and work on. Start out simple. Go to bed early and set multiple alarms. Then aim to be on time every day.  

2. Be More Organized

Organization is a very important skill to have in the workforce, no matter what sector you’re in. For 2017, try and be more organized. Set aside some time for yourself every week to try and get organized, and plan out your schedule in advance. Stay on top of important tasks and plan accordingly.

3. Attain a Pay Increase

A pay increase can be very enticing and motivating for an employee. Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to receive a pay increase at work? If so, work hard, keep organized, and always do your best. A pay increase starts with your ability to perform and execute required tasks.

4. Move Up in the Company

There’s no better resolution than the desire to grow and develop with the company that you’re working for. If you’re a hard worker, and you can see yourself moving up in the company, receiving a promotion may be attainable for you. There’s always an opportunity for growth at any job. Keep your head up and stay motivated in 2017. After all, you never know what could happen. 

5. Gain a New Career

Your biggest New Year’s resolution may be gaining a job in itself, or making a career change. Gaining a new job can be a difficult task, especially if you would like to move in a new direction.
