To keep your career healthy, you should conduct an annual career check-up. At least once a year you should take out your resume and review it.

Ask yourself these questions:

• Am I achieving my goals and purpose in life?
• Has my objective changed? If “yes,” what is it now?
• Is this job meeting my expectations? If “no,” why not?
• Am I doing what I’m good at and enjoy doing?
• Are my skills up-to-date for this job and organization?
• Am I fully using my skills as well as acquiring new skills?
• Does this company fully value my contributions?
• Is this job worth keeping or should I “test the water”?
• How can I best achieve career satisfaction?
• What other opportunities might be better than this job?
