Spread the Wealth, Share Your Career Advice

Have you received any good advice lately? We are still looking for newsletter readers to share their career development tips. Here are some new ideas collected since our Fall/Winter issue:

• Take the initiative to research developmental courses and propose them to your management. (They won't necessarily propose such courses to you, but should be receptive to your request.)
• Study the cultural aspects around any foreign assignment so that you can perform more effectively in that location.
• Get involved with an ACS technical division that represents your field or specialty.
• Read the book by Nicole Schapiro, Negotiating for Your Life: New Success Strategies for Women.

If you have any ideas to share, please send them to John Palmer at jpalmer@ucsd.edu. We will continue to publish them in future issues of the WCC newsletter and on our website.
