What to do during your holiday down time? Polish up your resume.
This time of year, I'm burning excess vacation days and you may be doing the same or hiding from in-laws in your "man room". Spending major bank on holiday gifts could have you thinking about your paycheck ("Am I being paid what I am worth?") and even though I know all my blog readers wouldn't bother with something as trivial as New Years resolutions, you can start to think about what's in store for 2008. Like I've said before, it's a great time to work on your resume. Spike that eggnog and sit down to polish that sucker up. The best time to work on your resume is when you don't need to.
