Even before the arrival of Christianity,

Germans decorated evergreen trees to

brighten the dark, gloomy days of the

winter solstice. The first "Christmas

trees" appeared in Strasbourg in the

17th century and spread to

Pennsylvania in the 1820s with the

arrival of German immigrants. When

Queen Victoria married Germany's

Prince Albert in 1840, he brought the

tradition to England. Eight years later,

the first American newspaper ran a

picture of the royal Christmas tree, and

Americans outside Pennsylvania quickly

followed suit.

USE THE HOLIDAY TIME WISELY As well as celebrating, invest some time over the Christmas vacation working on

your resume, and updating your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, so that when the

new year begins and companies reopen, you are ready to go. And don’t forget to

send your Regency consultant a copy of the new resume too.

The new year is the time to get moving and take your career to the next

level. Here are some simple steps to move forward ..

- Begin with the end in mind. Write down your career aspirations as if you

have already achieved them.

- Set manageable, short-term targets along the way. Break down the

large career goal into smaller ‘chunks’ that you can measure and evaluate

on a daily basis.

- Just Do It! Get up, get out and do it. Nothing is going to happen if you

stay at home on Facebook. You have to walk the talk and meet the people.

- Appreciate that done is better than perfect. Celebrate the small wins,

like getting an interview or making a new connection.

Remember, the most important step is the next one !

Making Positive Career Progress in 2017

KEEP CALM AND COPE WITH CHRISTMAS

The Christmas holidays bring time spent with

family from near and far, preparing

and making elaborate meals and

attending parties, buying gifts to

show loved ones how much we care

and decorating our homes in holiday regalia.

We may even find ourselves up late into the

night preparing pastelles and treats for our

children’s teachers, our neigbours or co-workers.

But there’s no denying that, despite the holidays being a special time to

reconnect with family and friends, heightened expectations can lead to anxiety,

irritability, sleeplessness and exhaustion. And asking for help, even outside of the

holiday season, is difficult for many of us to do. Read how to cope with the demands

of the Season at http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2015/11/09/how-to-

keep-calm-and-carry-on-during-the-holidays/
