How to come up in your career
by Lakshmi Peiris
Your career is the path to your
success. Employment gives each of us the best return. Not only financial
support which brings coins in hand. Working as a team, quality of work,
being punctual, discipline and behaviour are some of the major
contributions that a career brings. In simple, office work is theory.
But more or less the practical side of it takes you to hikes. Once you
are employed a firm decision has to be built up to go ahead in it to
make it a success. You have to be very active, determined, ambitious and
courageous to reach your goal.
 Reading newspapers daily will be advantageous for you to know about
the current situation around the globe. Whatever you read the knowledge
you gain is unlimited. You learn the language, presentation, using of
punctuation, about people, countries etc. Try to understand what you
read. Making use of a dictionary will help you to check the meaning,
spelling and pronunciation.
In addition you can attend seminars, workshops or any other function
which you think will add anything useful to fulfill your ambition. Your
company will organize seminars, workshops, functions, parties, outings
etc. As an employee working in an organization you can express your
interest in attending these, to your superiors. Offer your assistance
and support in a pleasing manner to the organizing committee in
organizing such events. Here again you will be held responsible for the
things going on. It will make you very lively and while working as a
team it will also help you to build up your Public Relation skills.
Try to learn and study what you like. Surf the net. Gather more
information. Try to build a good rapport with your superiors and speak
to your superiors about your capabilities while geting the maximum use
of your skills. Make every effort to maintain the good name in whatever
you do in your place of work. Your standard and status reflects on your
capability of handling people. A pleasant remark or a kind comment will
be the best way to make a person happy. Merit them for whatever
assistance they have given and never forget to thank them. Because such
gestures cannot be compared with cash, will be remembered and goes a
long way in your career.
Be lively, cheerful and patient as much as possible in your
workplace, which is very difficult to do some times. Especially when you
are penalized over something, being run down, high pitched insults, in
the presence of others, that you know are meant for you. Be patient or
silent as much as possible at these instances and try to solve it after
a short lapse of time. Avoid unnecessary talking and arguments. This
will be a great solution for many problems.
Always do a complete job. Be thorough in your work. Do your work
neatly and accurately. Handle whatever work entrusted to you with
maximum care and responsibility. Do not make room for anyone concerned
to find fault in your work. |
