Often efficient people suffer ignorance since they cannot prove their worth or value at the <g data-gr-id="74">work place</g>. There are some methods to be noticeable at <g data-gr-id="71">workplace</g> and get acknowledgements and be happy. The unemployment rate is increasing <g data-gr-id="69">everyday</g> than in the past <g data-gr-id="70">while</g> for a lot of companies, production isn’t precisely thriving. The best way to secure your job is to show your employer that you are so important that they just can’t let you go. To demonstrate your value to your employer, it important that you know your own strengths and weaknesses. Some basic tips may help.
Firstly choose the right job:
You do not want to regret working on something you dislike, hence clear your head and find out what you like. If you are interested in teaching, you should teach and not sit in an organization doing accounts! This way, neither will you be happy nor can you give your best to receive compliments.
Excellent work ethics:
Companies value employees who comprehend and own a willingness to work hard. It is also important to work smart. This means that one has to learn the most efficient way to complete tasks and find ways to save time whilst completing <g data-gr-id="61">every day</g> assignments. It is also significant to care about the job and complete all projects with a positive attitude.
Exhibiting more work than expected on the job is a fine way to show management your good time management skills. Do not utilize the company properties for your personal benefits. Calling to your personal numbers and accessing <g data-gr-id="54">to </g>the internet for ‘cat videos’ for example is considered to be bad work ethics. Save some time for your personal life separately. Try not to ask for favours from someone, until you have done something great to help that person.
Don’t display your knowledge but listen:
You may know a lot, but when someone else is speaking keep quiet and listen to the person. You may get some new information from his/her speech. You do not necessarily need to display your knowledge in front of your seniors or even others; nobody likes a person who shows off. If you do not know something, try to find out about it. Ask people, <g data-gr-id="75">research in</g> the internet, or dig into books but never pretend to know something you don’t! That will put you in danger.
Be punctual:
Be it entering the office at time or finishing off a report on time, punctuality matters. If you promise to deliver a report by <g data-gr-id="72">7pm</g> make sure you finish it by <g data-gr-id="73">6:30pm</g> and keep the half hour for corrections, then deliver it on time. Meeting a deadline can be a challenge at times, but learn to manage your time. Never fail what you have promised your boss. In case you are in doubt of your timeliness, let it be known to your boss, as you do not want to shock him!
Praise yourself, but modestly:
It can work wonders if you make sure that your managers understand your effort and good results. You will have to speak about your work and make it known, but remember not to be too loud about it. The supervisors and managers may notice your efficiency and get you a salary hike or even better, promote you. Do not overdo your self-praising, as it may bring <g data-gr-id="53">upon </g>the opposite result.
Do what you say:
Do not preach stuff you don’t follow yourself. If your advice your juniors or colleges to do something, you better be a follower of the same path. Otherwise, people will take you for granted. There’s no point in flaunting yourself to be a <g data-gr-id="66">know-it-all,</g> because the very moment an in-depth question will be asked your <g data-gr-id="58">pretence</g> will be exposed.
