K is for… Keep up to date

We would recommend that you keep up to date with both company news and industry/sector/niche news. This will help you be well-informed and keep you up to date with your business and developments in your company.

There are a number of ways you might like to do this:

• sign up to google alerts
• subscribe to mailing lists and press announcements for your company website and industry press.
• read your internal publications and updates
• read and subscribe to industry and trade press and sector updates
• write your own website/blog to help you keep up to date
• listen to podcasts
• use your career journal to develop a routine of keeping up to date
• develop niche expertise.

Action point: Keep up to date using a method that suits you.
