When you start to feel like your career is becoming stale or stagnant, it`s time to push the reset button.

1. Set new personal goal
Personal goals seem to always get lost in the midst of career planning, but they really set the tone for what type of life you want for yourself. A great way to document your personal goals is in a journal.Once your personal goals have been established, identify small actions that will help you obtain those goals.

2. Set new career goal
It's so important to be proactive in your career goal-setting. You control your career brand, so it's worth personally documenting your goals in an Individual Development Plan (IDP) at the start of the year. Creates new career goals that were going to make you a happier professional.

3.Give your career brand a facelift
Your career brand represents you, not only as a professional but as an individual. A career brand facelift helps to keep your career expertise fresh, creative and innovative.One of the best ways to refresh your career brand is to establish yourself as a subject matter expert.

4.Update your application materials
As the new year approaches, think about documenting all the projects, professional training and volunteer work you have completed in last year in your resume.  Making sure your resume is current is critical, as the start of the year is a prime time for recruiters to look for new talent.
