By Dave Clark

The employment landscape has changed significantly over the past few years.

This shift took place the moment that job openings surpassed hires. That trend continues to rise so it appears that it will continue to be an employee’s market for the foreseeable future.

Think SMART when setting goals, and make sure they are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.

Start with the end in mind. Visualize where you want to be in three months, six months, and a year. There are several resources and tools that can help you imagine the future. For example, you could create a vision board. Select a mélange of images to display that represent the items, events, or accomplishments you desire.
