As a newbie to the workforce there are some important strategies to execute to insure your success. I am presenting 5 things you can do to help jump start your career.
1. Observe the Chain of Command - The chain of command is the order you should follow to get a problem solved. Going over your bosses head will not help you. Moreover, it will probably lead you to being labeled as a troublemaker.
2. Learn to Ride the Wave - The waves or challenges within any organization can change by the minute or by the day. There are few perfect jobs and even fewer perfect companies. This is a lesson that many seasoned workers haven't fully grasped. Show your adaptability and flexibility by handling the changes that may accompany your job. A good boss will appreciate your attitude.
3. Strive to Make An Early Positive Impact - There is nothing better than early success in your new job. Start everyday by breaking it down into smaller parts in which you will thrive. Take good notes so you can retain key information. After you master that strive to achieve success on a daily basis. Meanwhile monitor all the activities that lead to your success. Once you achieve success it is key that you realize what the formula is so that you can repeat it.
4. Keep Being a Student - Oftentimes after graduating from school people want to separate themselves from habits such as studying and learning. Being a good student in the workplace could allow you to learn product information. Product knowledge is key in a sales position. You may not get a formal test in the workplace but rest assured that your work progress is being measured. Instead of getting a report card you will receive a performance appraisal.
5. Don't Burn Any Bridges - As with life you want to be careful not to burn any bridges. You can burn bridges by bad mouthing your company on social networking websites. You could also burn bridges by quitting without giving adequate notice or by underachieving on the job. Remember that you may need your current employer to provide you with a reference in the future.
