Are You A Quality Worker?

This extract from a post on the Trump University blog reiterates 2 things I passionately believe in and practise: (1) the importance of keeping our skills and knowledge current; (2) if you're unhappy with your career situation, do something about it!

Executive search firm Robert Half International, recently performed a study where they surveyed over 4000 finance and human resource managers in 20 different countries and the majority said they are having trouble finding skilled candidates to fill their high level accounting and finance positions. It also showed that when they do find one, the pressure is on them to find creative ways to retain them and keep them happy.

What this should tell people is that quality companies are needing quality people and are willing to pay them handsomely! If you are unhappy with your current job situation, do something about it. Start by bettering yourself and your skill set CONSTANTLY. Keep your education current. Take webinars and business classes in your field of expertise to keep abreast of cutting edge ideas and opportunities to impress any possible employers.
