Career Practices

 

I think, in retrospect, I have found these practices to be useful:

• Always be very polite –
• Be very honest with yourself on what you can and cannot do
• Never, ever mud-wrestle with a pig, he enjoys it.
• The Work one does is more important than the Title one has
• Be aware of what communication you owe to your leader(s) – what they need to know
• Do not loose sight of what you have been hired for – do not loose sight of the fact that we are here to make money (hopefully, lots of it)
• Listen more, Talk less
• Aim high, so when you fall down, you fall down in a pretty comfortable place
• Volunteer for everything
• Avoid – as much as possible – making enemies
• Always ask your colleagues what they are working on
• If you are miserable somewhere, find a new situation – life is just too short to be spent in tolerating miserable situations.
• Always seek feedback – even when you know it would not be pleasant
• Help others as much as you can
• Wherever you are, take that place as a growth opportunity to learn and to grow to earn more money &  perks…
• Keep a Job Diary
• And Be Not Afraid
