If you want more out of your work life, this weekend is the perfect time to take action. While everyone is bingeing Netflix, or overindulging at neighborhood BBQ’s, you can be on the way to finding a career that improves your financial situation and offers you a chance to use your skills and talents.

So Grab your tablet or laptop and spend some time assessing what it is about your career you enjoy and what you don’t. Think about which of your skills provide you the most satisfaction. Think about careers that give you the opportunity to use them and also give you an environment you can continue to grow.

Don’t forget about updating your LinkedIn profile. Use this weekend to contact recruiters and build your network. You’ll stand out and be first in their in-box when they get back to work mode on Tuesday.
