5 WAYS TO STAND OUT AT WORK
Today, the work place is riddled with employees just muddling through their day. We all know these people — they never miss an opportunity to let you know how much they don’t want to be there. So, when it comes to your boss’s impression of you, the last thing you want is to be lumped in with the others. Here are five foolproof ways to get noticed (in a good way) at work! FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN LEADER AND LEARNER. When you’re new to a career or project, observing, listening, and note taking are crucial ways to adapt and learn how things work. Once you’ve got your footing, taking on a leadership position is key, but it’s important to make sure you don’t come off too strong too early either! It’s all about finding that balance and remembering that you never stop learning. SPEAK UP DURING MEETINGS. During team and company meetings, be sure to contribute whenever possible. Management is
listening and watching, and you don’t want to be noticed for sitting silently. Your silence could suggest disengagement. If you want to move up in the rankings, find your voice and contribute! GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE JOB DESCRIPTION. In many cases, to reach the highest potential of your job position, you need to be willing to
do a little more than the job description requires. Even though a supervisor may ask you to do a little more, taking the initiative to ensure your job is done well gets you noticed — even if that means doing something requiring extra effort! OFFER TO HELP OTHERS. Sure, work is busy and helping others makes it that much busier! But being a known “go-to” person around the office is a great thing — you add value! Not only will management not want to
lose you, but they will keep their eye on you for advancement, too!
COMPLETE TASKS WITHOUT BEING ASKED. If you notice something needs to be done, do it before you’re asked! Even if it’s just cleaning up the breakroom or taking out the trash, being proactive is sure to pay off! Those who go the extra mile always make a name for themselves.
