10 Ways To Be Noticed At Work

If you want to climb into the spotlight at your work place here are 10 tips to put you on the right track.

1. Increase visibility. Make an effort to visit others in your office. You can see what others are working on, see where you can offer help and just simply have a chat.

2. Dress the part. Getting noticed can be as simple as adjusting the way we dress. Dress appropriately for your office environment and you'll be on your way to success.

3. Give your reputation a kick. Your name needs to be seen and heard. Does your company have a blog or a forum? If so start posting regularly. If your company is large enough to have an internal publication start offering stories for it.

4. Step up to the plate. If an opportunity is offered and you have the ability to get the job done then raise your hand high.

5. Learn to learn. The world is in information overload, if you don’t know how to do something it is now as easy as opening up a new browser window on your computer and searching for the answer. We should all be striving to learn something new every day no matter how small or big it is.

6. Keep in tune with the world at large. Know exactly what your company’s competitors are doing. Do some market research. What opportunities are out there? Is there a gap that could be filled?

7. Respect others. If somebody is doing a good job tell them. Also mention this to people higher up the chain. Being fair and showing you care is a great way to set an example.

8. Be a mentor. Don’t be selfish with your own knowledge. Sharing is a great way to be noticed.

9. Find your niche. What are you really good at? Find out and make yourself the expert on the subject. Become the “go to” person in the office for that particular thing.

10. There is no try only do. Just like Yoda said, there is no second best. It’s no good moaning to your colleagues about not being noticed unless you are prepared to work hard at your job and be the absolute best you can be.
