Great Post on Investing In Yourself

Posted by Dan

February 18, 2008 |

The Simple Dollar has a great post up about the value of investing in yourself. At the beginning of any career search, the most important thing I think anyone can do is take a personal inventory of what could be improved to make you the best candidate for the job of your dreams. Do you need an investment in yourself? Could you spend a little time, money, or effort and improve your chances? Not all investments are financial. Researching your field is free and could pay off big time. Taking the time to spend a little more effort on your appearance shows that you not only care about yourself, but about the impression you make. What investments could you make today to make yourself more appealing to a future employer?

    Education is the number 1 self investment by a country mile. Degrees lead to quality income but all learning leads to quality life.
