☆ 6 steps to take in 2025 if you didn't get the job or promotion you wanted in 2024

I've seen many people end the year feeling like they failed or didn't accomplish enough — and I've been there, too. I've coached people through layoffs and those who didn't achieve the promotion they were aiming for. If things didn't work out this year, you might not need to change the goal but simply take a different approach. If you didn't get the promotion you were hoping for or didn't land the job you wanted, ask yourself if there's an alternative way to achieve that goal. If you're looking for a new job, identify your dream companies and build a strategy using specific steps to get there.

He marveled at the efficiency of the African oil palm, which can produce five times as much edible oil per acre as corn or soy. As environmental activists raised the alarm about the palm oil industry's toll on the tropical forests of Southeast Asia two decades ago, Unilever, the world's largest buyer of palm oil, teamed up with the World Wildlife Fund and other parties to establish the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. Six years later, as a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, they sold that operation to Felda Global Ventures, the third-largest palm oil company in the world, for almost $200 million. Not only was García's government offering sweetheart deals to foreign investors under its National Plan to Promote Oil Palm, but the country had more than 3 million acres suitable for oil palm. It was Washington Bolívar, the activist who had helped Ucayali's Indigenous communities fight the palm oil plantations.
