JJ Howard & Associates Announce Easter Holiday Hours & Share Three Tips to Reflect Upon

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - April 16, 2019 - PRLog -- Jaynine Howard, owner of JJ Howard & Associates, announces that she and her Dream Team will close at noon on Thursday, April 18, and reopen on Tuesday, April 23, in observance of Holy Week and Easter Monday.

Holy Week is a great time to reflect upon your career trajectory and to design a new strategy to meet your career goals. It's a time of renewal, and a time to commit to using your God-given talents to their fullest.

Howard reminds us that graduation season is right around the corner. "The job market will be flooded with new applicants ready to accept an offer. As a seasoned professional, you will want to ensure your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile stand out among a hungry sea of applicants, but most importantly, you will want to know your value."

Jaynine's Tips for Career Trajectory Reflection

• Create a quiet block of time and silence your phone. Grab a pencil and paper and begin to write your thoughts. Make time to make YOU a priority.
• Think about what brings you joy, and what is a source of contention. Make a large T on a sheet of paper. On the left side of the T, begin listing the things you will no longer tolerate on the job. Then on the right side, list the things that bring you joy. This exercise will help you clarify your next job search.
• Know your value. Do a job search and then search the Bureau of Labor Statistics and see what others in your field or industry are earning. How does your current paycheck stack up? Be prepared to be asked, "What is your salary requirement." When you know your value, you will avoid accepting jobs that keep you earning less than what employers are paying others who have the same skillset.

Jaynine and her Dream Team, wish you a very blessed Holy Week and Easter holiday, but cautions, "If you are job hunting, be on your best behavior and carry an ample supply of contact cards. You never know who you will meet. It may be someone with a hot lead – or even better – your next employer."
