“Take Back the Driver’s Seat of your “Car”eer”
summary
Explains concrete steps: set aside one to two hours per week for free upskilling, log quarterly accomplishments into a living highlight reel, and collect recommendations as achievements happen. Identify two to four staffing agencies to become Trusted Advisors and Partners, run regular informational interviews to practice, and gather market-pay data plus location/perks to build a compensation grid. Claims these practices turn career moves into data-driven, symbiotic partnerships with employers rather than luck or loyalty.
