About the Author:

Janet M. Ruck is a career coach with many years of experience training and counseling students and adults in developing visions and goals for career choice and life passions. She retired from the federal Department of Health and Human Services in 2003 as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service with a rank of captain.

With more than 28 years of federal service, including 17 years in career advising, Karol Taylor brings a broad perspective and insider expertise to the federal career management process, including knowledge and understanding of federal HR policies and procedures.

New Year's Eve is a short time away, and with it comes the resolutions and impetus for people to start anew. The top resolutions each year seem to fall into three categories: lose weight and get healthy; save money; or get a new job. Yet, many individuals with these goals find failure and disappointment, primarily because they are using the same tactics that didn't work last year, or the year before, or many years before that. Without a fundamental change in behavior, often strategy, good intentions, and motivation do little to tip the scales in the direction of success.
