How much time do you spend improving your abilities?
Some people call this professional development.
The biggest challenge I’ve seen with recent university or college graduates, is that they think that some think they know it all. Many United States Colleges or Universities use the word commencement for the ceremony that awards their graduates the diplomas. I like the use of that word because commencement means the time at which something is supposed to begin. It means that now is the time to begin the other part of your education – the real life learning experiences in relation to your career.
That is why I like the use of the word professional development. No matter what you do, if you upgrade your skills and abilities you are showing that you take your job or profession seriously and by taking courses you are showing you want to improve – to be professional.
What can you do today to show your dedication to advancing in your career?
