This is just a reminder that this month’s Professional Development virtual chapter meeting we have MVP, PASS Board member, and all-around badass Jeremiah Peschka (Blog | Twitter) presenting on Taking Control of Your Career. Here is the abstract of the presentation:
Raises, promotions, and job offers don’t happen by accident; you need a plan. Through careful planning you can create and reach impressive goals. But what’s the point of reaching your goals if nobody notices? “If you build it, they will come” doesn’t apply when you’re building your career.
In this session Jeremiah Peschka will show you:
- How to set achievable goals
- The importance of planning your career
- Methods for recording and communicating your accomplishments

He begins to perk up a little…but still wonders where his career is going. Where will he be in 2 years, 5 years? He is used to being the jack-off-all trades in his job but is now in a dedicated position with strict lines of responsibility. Should he take another Microsoft certification test to see if that makes him feel better. Now the DBA is saddened again by the realization that he has to wait another week before he can find out where his career is going to go. […]
