Alison Wistner (CFO of Zane Benefits) of Park City, Utah, believes, You end up meeting a lot of people at professional events. Try to stay in touch with as many as you canyou never know when someone might hear of a job opening youd be perfect for. As soon as you meet someone, add him or her to your LinkedIn account and try to grab lunch or a cup of coffee twice a month with people you respect in your industry.
Mina Fies (CEO of Synergy Design & Consultation) Reston, Virginia, advises, Many people think you need to work all day and all night to move up. You can go at that pace for a little bit, but dont fall into the habit of believing you need to push all the time to get aheadyoull eventually burn out. So when youre scheduling your work appointments, block out time for manicures, massages, and trips to the gym. Having balance in your life will make you even stronger in the office.
