Making It Big Monday

Getting Ahead on the Job: The Ladder to Success

Volunteer
If your employer asks for volunteers to work over the weekend, raise your hand. It's good to go the extra mile since it shows you're dedicated to the employer's goals.

Bring the Coffee and Donuts!


In other words, be nice to the people with whom you work. The workplace is a great place to make friends and friends work better together. Let the friends at work know how you feel. Thank them when they help you out.

Be a Team Player

Part of workplace success has to do with your ability to cooperate with co-workers. Cooperation among employees on the job increases the company's productivity. Work together and cooperate to make the business successful.

Learn On The Job

If you've got your eye on a middle-management job, learn all you can about the job and its responsibilities. Learn the procedures, the resources, the deadlines and delivery dates. But don't stop there. You can also learn about every job in your workplace to get a ‘big picture' view.

Be Diplomatic

During the course of a busy work day, disagreements can occur between people sharing the same space and tasks. If a problem arises with a co-worker, calm yourself before discussing the problem.

Let Them Know You're Ready

There's nothing wrong with talking to your supervisor or the people in HR about your goals. Let them know that you want to stay with the company, that you want to contribute more and that you want to move up.

Review Your Reviews

It's hard not to take criticism personally, but remember criticism at work can be used to your advantage. An annual review by company management provides a much clearer picture of your professional strengths and weaknesses. It also provides a veritable checklist of employer expectations.

Make Yourself Indispensable

Learn everything – from how to make the coffee in the morning to how to open the one file drawer that always locks. It won't be long before you're the recognized expert – the one the business just can't do without.
