Keeping your job?

OK, so you've got a new job. Now, let's keep it!

A new book by Milo and Thuy Sendell, "Sink or Swim: New Job, New Boss, 12 Weeks to Get it Right," looks at the retention issue from the most important perspective: the employee's. After all, who gets hurt most when a new job doesn't work out? The authors outline five strategies for:

  • Goal setting
  • Time management
  • Knowledge management
  • Teamwork

You can read something about the strategies -- and the advice they give employers -- in the article they wrote for the Electronic Recruiting Exchange.

It never hurts to see tings from the boss' perspective.

      Give Me a Sign
      As we travel our career paths, wondering where to go next, we get signs. They can be in places ordinary or unexpected. They can come from above or from the road commission. We use those signs in Ask the Recruiter.

      If you see a sign that speaks to you about your career, e-mail a photo of it to joe.grimm@gmail.com. Who knows? The sign you see may serve another.
