Stay Marketable!

In the July issue of Black Enterprise Magazine, Kevin Warren, CEO of Xerox Canada, offers advice on staying professionally marketable through this economic downturn.

Three-point attack plan:

Results: Consistently deliver outstanding results. If you cannot do that, the conversation ends there.

Behaviors: Recognize that corporations are social institutions. How do you interact with your manager? How do you interact with your colleagues? Do you make the work-place a better place to work? Do you add to the organization?

Competencies: Manage your portfolio of skills. Add to your skill set. Go back to school. Make a commitment to lifelong learning.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” (Colossians 3:23)
