Your resume to date	It can be personally rewarding to put together your own CV every so often and celebrate the wealth of your qualifications and your growing experience. When it comes to experience, leave nothing out. The good stuff and the challenges all adds up to make you the person you are.
Targets for the future	Print out your CV and add a column on the right. In this column, fill in those things you want to achieve. Draw in the links from your CV to what you want. You now have the map of what you want to do and achieve. You might add some numbers to create priorities if needed. Start with the options that are most important to you and which you believe you can achieve. Now, you are developing an understanding of your abilities and how to advance them.
