Well now that we know how to organize stuff, how about de-cluttering our professional life, too? Resumes, contact lists, professional organizations? With our resumes we can clear out the experiences, or not highlight as much, the ones that are not relevant to the job we are seeking. We can also trim down the verbiage in our descriptions -- tighten them up to have more impact. The contact lists can be weeded through. Who do we really want to keep in touch with? Is the old client contact from 15 years ago still a good one to have? Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. What professional organizations are we active in? Are we still paying dues for an organization, just to have it listed on our resume or because it is really useful and an asset to our careers?
What do you think?
