1. Be appreciative at work.
“Be grateful that you’re employed.†Don’t complain, gossip, or be negative at work. Adopt an “attitude of gratitude†will improve how others (including your supervisors) see you. The more you’re seen as someone who helps create a better work environment, the more secure your job will be.
2. Be indispensable.
Come in early, stay late, volunteer for extra projects, and get the rest, nutrition, and exercise you need to stay productive at work. “No need to ‘brown-nose,’ but every day, ask yourself, ‘How can I be the best employee in this place today?’â€
3. Volunteer at work.
Join a committee in your company, or donate time to the community. In every situation, be professional. If opportunities arise to mention your skills, don’t be shy! You never know who will be in a position to help you (or for you to return the favor) one day.
