XBRL CLIENT LEAD
CAREER TIP
"Be involved—participate! It is important to be engaged at work, whether it be within your department, company, or industry. There are so many ways to be involved: volunteer on a special team project, join a company sports team, help out at a company-sponsored food drive, participate in a sponsored walk or charity event, or join an industry group or board. Not only will it make you more visible at your company, it shows initiative, that you are engaged and interested in your career—and not there to simply earn a paycheck."
