As a corporate Web worker, it’s not all roses on the PD front. I’ve been working for the same organisation now for five years and have received exactly no PD.

Head down, always busy. Question: Am I working for the right corporate?

thanks for a great post. Made me start thinking…

Becoming an adjunct professor at a university generally forces you to stay current in your field, especially in tech areas. Every class I learn something new about teaching, presenting, the subject matter or the 18-22 year old view of the topic.

Even if you’re a corporate worker reading this, observe #1 and #2, and adapt #5 to read “Is what I spent the last year doing marketable? Did I advance or stay still in my knowledge? If I quit right now would anyone want to hire me based on what I really know? Could I take what I know and successfully go freelance with it?”

I neglected to do those things in my first full-time job, and ended up building 4 years of unmarketable “knowledge” which did me no good when I needed to find a new employer.

I agree, and as an owner of a Micro ISV, I think “reading the news” and “learning a new skill” (or in my case technology) are the most essential and attainable. The user groups and conferences can work as time allows, but acheiving professional development is much easier when scheduled into a daily routine or specific project.
