New Year, New Career: Want a New Job in 2015? Do These 3 Things

    SEATTLE, WA, December 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Health, money and career-related resolutions will continue to top resolution lists in 2015 and one author is sharing her tips for achieving workplace resolutions - whether it's finally getting that job you've wanted, getting promoted or breaking free from a bad boss.

Lisa Quast - career coach, expert and author of the newly released book Secrets of a Hiring Manager Turned Career Coach, is sharing these three surefire tips for not having to re-resolve in 2016.

1. Ask yourself one tough question, such as "Why do I want to change my job?", "What are the three words my manager would use to describe my work ethic?", "What's (insert name) doing differently/better than me in the position that I seek to get promoted to?"

2. Establish a plan - yes a plan, written down or typed out that has answers to these three questions: WHAT, HOW and BY WHEN. Then tell 10 people you know about your plan. They will hold you accountable.

3. Be grounded in your approach. That is as opposed to lofty or too complex or too outlandish. What you're trying to accomplish has been accomplished before, by someone else, who was much less creative. Think about the tried and true method that was used and start there.

Quast has seen and heard it all. As a longtime career mentor and coach, the award-winning author of two career books, and a contributing writer to numerous career and job sites and sections, she has a keen sense of what works and what doesn't. Her new book emphasizes this no-nonsense approach when trying to get a desired job or achieve a workplace goal. Moreover, her coaching clients have experienced an unprecedented 100% success rate when following her guidance.

Job seekers, career-driven women, college graduates, newly working moms, baby boomers returning to the workforce are all positioned to benefit from Quast's knowledge.
