create your resume By Lori Hutchinson and Linda Meehan We are part of a different workplace than generations past, when employees worked for one or two companies over the course of their careers and the culture of the company changed rarely during that time. Today, jobs are never for life. Management is flexible and always changing, staff members are expected to change and be teamoriented, companies are merging and going from public to private and back again, and there is vastly increased global competition. To be a successful worker today, you may need to embrace continuous change, learn and adapt quickly, be a skillful networker and team player, and most importantly focus on the big picture and produce results. Start Your Search First, do your research to select the companies for which you'd like to work. Look at websites, read press releases, talk to people you know, and ask a lot of questions.
