Q TIPS:
Quick and Quintessential Career & Job Tips
Job-hunting tips from the September 27, 2004 issue of
QuintZine.
Want to know how effective your "career branding" is? Lois Frankel, in her book, Nice Girls Don't Get the
Corner Office, suggests asking yourself the question, "What am I best known for?" Frankel then suggests developing a
list of three to five aspects of your work that give you the most satisfaction. Next, she says, translate
these behaviors into three key strengths you bring to the workplace. Finally, consider how these traits distinguish
you and help you stand out.
