The Lazy Careerist

The Lazy Careerist I think back to my time before being self-employed, and ponder on what I did for my career. On the one hand, I did all the right stuff to build the content of my resume (titles, schooling, etc.). On the other hand, I did the bare minimum. I assumed.   And I was lazy. I think I was normal. Im not saying that normal means people who dont do what they *should* rather, Im saying I see a lot of people who dont do what they ought to do. Bare minimum vs. doing all the right things. The problem was I spent my time working for my employer, assuming the employer would take care of me. We all know how that works out. Can I implore you to take yourself out of lazy, or assuming, mode, with regard to your career? I guess its okay to be lazy and assuming with regarding to career management, as long as you got a job, but when that job ends (for a variety of reasons), you will regret it, and it can set you back months (and months and months).
