Announcements & Community
BIGG Tip of the Week: Take Note: A Surprising Way to Get Promoted Career search site, The Muse, asked leaders why they give promotions. One thing noted: note-taking. Most employees don’t do this, and bosses end up repeating instructions later. By taking notes, you SEE the idea. If something’s unclear, you can clarify immediately. Plus, you can refer to your notes to jog your memory when you start the project. So remember, take notes for your BIGG success! Get more tips from BIGG Success here
