One of the big tips for this year's holiday party is the Thank
You. What employees should do is prepare a quick thank you
thought to share with important company staffers -- your boss, your
staff, the people who make your job easier. For example, a
quick handshake with the boss could include, "Thanks for your
leadership this year." Or, "Thank you -- I really appreciate
your commitment to the company." Be sincere, be quick, and
look the person in the eye when you deliver your message of
Thanks. They will really appreciate the gesture and will
remember it! Source: © The Career Exposure

Networking during the Holiday Season
During the Holidays, its a good time to renew acquaintances, see
former colleagues and friends, and expand your social
network. If you are looking for new opportunities or know of
open positions, let this be part of the conversation. Let
former co-workers, colleagues and mentors tactfully know you're job
hunting and ask them to connect you with prospective employers. If

Quick Shot: 5 Things I'd Do Differently In My HR Career
100% totally inspired from Laurie Ruettimann's presentation
to HR students at SHRM '10, Learn From My (HR) Mistakes, here
are five things I would do differently in my HR career:
Spend time as a recruiter sourcing, searching, and selling. Be
a small fish in a big pond for a few years to add big
corporate HR to the toolkit. Really, I mean really,
understand the financial side of a business. Spend as much
time outside of HR as I spent in it. Make more waves. What
about you? What would you do?

just have a degree. Most employers are looking for people with a

and private sector." (MBA female respondent) "It was an
