10 Quick Career Tips
1. Reflection
Take a moment at the end of each day to reflect on your day. Think about the things you did well, and the things that you could improve on. This kind of reflection will help to focus you for the following days.
2. Work When Productive
Take note of when in the day you are at your most productive. Some people might like the morning, others are in the afternoon. Over the next week, mark down the times you are feeling the most energized.
3. Be Mindful
Be mindful of the things you say at work and the attitude that you portray in the office. Don’t talk about being tired, and never bad mouth a coworker. Remain as professional as you can always.
4. Put Distractions Away
Find the things that distract you the most during the day and put them away. If it’s your phone, there is a great app to use, Freedom. For PC, you can use Focus Me.
5. Always be Grateful
Always be grateful when some does something for you. Handwritten thank you notes or small gifts are a great way to show appreciation.
6. Listen More
Try taking a step back for talking and listen more to what co-workers, or people you are trying to network with, are saying. You might be surprised how much more info you will pick up.
7. Find a Need
If you are looking for a new job, don’t worry so much about the technical details, what employers want is to know that you can fill a need of theirs.
8. Keep in Touch
Always try and keep in touch with connections you make in the world. Either business or friends, a quick message goes a long way. We love LinkedIn for this purpose.
9. Always Challenge Yourself
The second that you become complacent in a job, is the time that your work will suffer. Always look for more ways to challenge yourself each day.
10. Always Learn
Keeping up with new things happening in your industry is a great way to stay on your toes. Always remember that someone else wants the job you have.
