Duly Noted

A few years in the work world will give you a good taste of things you should duly note along the way. 1. Write down, mark your calendar, and set a reminder of your hire date. This should be grounds for your yearly review and mid-year reviews. This date plays a huge factor of a pay increase (even if it is a small percentage) and personal feedback on how you are doing. 2. Save contact information! Microsoft Outlook has a "contacts" section for you to create a card and input contact information (don't forget the mailing info - you never know when you may need to mail them something!). You can easily forward them in emails and it's a great way to keep up with your clients, potential leads or a good resource. Side Note: I have also found using the "new contact" as a reference for websites user name and password. 3. Respond back with confirmation you received something. When people send something over for you to act upon, the sender always appreciates a "got it" or even a simple "thanks"!
