There’s no
doubt that a lot of people have benefited one way or another from the Netflix
hit Tidying Up With Marie Kondo. Believe it
or not, you can apply the KonMari Method to your career. When you ask "What sparks joy for me?"
you’re really asking what’s worth your time, space and energy — a concept
that applies to any aspect of your life and career. When you view your life from
this perspective you gain clarity as to where you are and where you want to go.

According to a CareerBuilder survey,
70% of employers use social networking sites to research job candidates. Of those
employers, 54% found content that caused them to pass on hiring a candidate.
If you’re planning on going to a networking event or job fair in the near
future — and you should be — set aside some time to take inventory of
all your social media accounts. You don’t want your next connection or potential
employer finding something that paints you in a negative light.
