The ABCD Principles - Introduction

For  the last few months, I've been volunteering for a program called Alumni Sharing Knowledge(ASK) at DePaul university.  At ASK, alumni who have been out in the professional workplace for a few years help current students and recent graduates with interviewing skills, career advice and give them a preview of what awaits them beyond college.

This experience has led me to examine my own career and professional experience:  the successes, the failures, and behaviors that helped me the most.  I found that I could ascribe all my success to following the 4 ABCD Principles:

• A - Attitude
• B - Branding
• C - Connections
• D - Dedication to life-long learning

I believe that if all the ABCD Principles are followed, they can help a person achieve continued success in their professional lives, while having a high job satisfaction rate.

Over the next few posts, I will go over each principle separately to examine what role each principle plays in creating professional success
