How to Improve Your Career? Here are some useful tips to improve your career at the office.
According to The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People book by Dr. Stephen Covey, you should have a final goal in mind. By knowing the final goal to reach, you can find the fastest way to your destination. If you have a proper strategy and plan, it is easier for you to reach success in your career. Apply it in your everyday life consistently and with discipline. Then, wait and see.
Here it is the key to success. If you have a high spirit, your superior will also see and consider your career. Keep the spirit and do your job wholeheartedly!
A reliable employee is one that has punctuality in either work or attendance, a professional work ethic, and also properly does the job and within budget. If you follow these steps, don’t be surprised if your superior will be glad to promote you.
If you have good or bad news, convey it honestly and politely to your superior. Don’t be afraid, to tell the truth. Because telling what you think is whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, will make you have a plus in your superior’s eyes. Be honest and stay polite.
In a business, either big or small, a team is definitely needed to reach and surpass the company’s goal. Here you have to adjust yourself with the team in your work. Who says you can’t shine by just being a part of a team? Of course, you can! As long as you are ready and able to adjust yourself with the whole team.
Expand your network. Because with that, you will get many benefits and advantages. Don’t be lazy to join a professional organization, seminar, and all kinds of that. By expanding your network, you can get new knowledge and information about work opportunities or promotions.
Besides networking, get more knowledge. Just because you are a pro in your field, that doesn’t mean you don’t know what is the role and responsibility of the other departments. By learning that from another department, you will know how they get into the company’s structure. Keep learning and dig into abilities outside your field. So, you will be rich in knowledge.
Creative people usually dare to think out of the box. Maybe you can take a look at your surroundings, usually, creative people are successful. For example, Steve Jobs or even Coco Chanel! They are not scared to experiment and take the risk. Even though not all creative things can be accepted in every company, you will get a plus from your superior. Don’t be surprised if someday you will be promoted. Good luck!
