Will it ever stop raining? We’re certainly wondering in London and we’ve also had more snow that usual. But the weather has been a lot worse elsewhere. You are probably well aware of the way in which weather and your life can interact to cause what you consider good or bad results, but have you thought about the influence weather could have on your career?

Probably not, unless you work outdoors or spend a lot of time waiting for buses. But if you stop to think about it, you’ll see that the present bad weather could have a positive impact on your career.

Being forced to stay indoors doesn’t mean you have to veg in front of the TV or spend the entire weekend on Facebook. You could use the time to reassess your career and perhaps even think about studying for something new.

You might just want to get another qualification which will make your present job more interesting or put you in line for promotion. Or you might want to learn something completely different and make a significant career change.

So use the rainy days to dream about what you want to do and take action to make it happen.
