Jump Out of Bed Month

View all posts for January 2010

January is ‘Jump Out of Bed Month’! Despite the fact that January sometimes feels more like ‘Stay in Bed Month’, this designation makes some sense. First of all, it’s the start of a new year, time for fresh beginnings, time to revisit your plans. Where’s your life going? Are you excited about your future? Do you find your current prospects energizing; do they make you want to jump out of bed? If the answer to this last question is no, you need to take a trip down to the Career Resource Library (CRL) – virtually or physically. We want to help you create a life that you love. We have career librarians and career resources that can help you discover what it is you want to do, and how to go about making that happen.

So get up your energy, jump out of bed, and do the things that will lead you to a life you find inspiring and fulfilling.

Here are a few CRL offerings that might get you started:
