2024 is here! That means it's time to make some new resolutions, and make plans to stick to those resolutions throughout the year.
The beginning of the year is the perfect time to take stock of what you have accomplished last year, and make plans for what is next in your professional life this year.
What are some of your professional goals for 2024?
If you haven't already made any professional goals, Liberty Staffing Services can help you and give you some tips. Here are 5 professional goals you can set and carry out in 2024.
1. Learn a New Skill
Learning new skills is good for so many reasons. It not only helps your brain stay healthy and strong, but it also gives you opportunities for professional development. When you learn a new skill, you increase your value in the workplace and make yourself more marketable to an employer.
Skill building can lead to promotions, pay raises, or increased opportunities in the workplace.
New skills can include software tools, hardware, machinery, language skills, and even soft skills like communication, flexibility, and problem solving.
2. Update Your Resume or Create a New Resume
It's always a good idea to have an updated resume handy, in case a great new job becomes available so that you can apply right away. January is the perfect time to update your resume.
Or you can create a new resume entirely. If you're new to the workforce, you'll have to make a new resume. You'll want to make sure your resume includes any relevant work experience that you have (if any), as well as extracurriculars, academics, volunteer work, and community service.

3. Network
Networking is about making connections with current and potential colleagues and employers alike.
Be friendly with any and all colleagues and other professionals that you meet, follow up with people you have met through your job by sending an email (or text when it is appropriate), and attend networking events whenever you can.
Networking enriches your professional life and allows you to make smoother career transitions when it is time to make a change.
