Manage Your Career - Learn throughout your life
Being a lifelong
learner does not necessarily mean you have to be enrolled in a
school or formal training program. It means that you are open
to learning new skills, technology and ways of doing business.
People who are willing to learn new things about their
profession or company are more likely to have job stability
and continued career success.
-
Find organizations and associations to help
you stay up on new things in your profession.
-
Find opportunities for professional
development through short-term training or community education
courses.
-
Finding the right job is useless unless you
know how to keep that job. Knowing what employers expect of
new employees will help with job retention.
Maintaining the right
attitude toward your work will affect how you react to job
transitions and new opportunities.
Professionalism is not something only managers or people
working in office settings should worry about. Workers in all
industries can benefit from staying positive and understanding
business etiquette. Having a professional attitude can help
you to get along with coworkers, give better service to
customers and advance your career. Below are some tips that
can be used by people in any occupation.
-
Treat others with the same respect and
kindness that you would hope to have them treat you.
-
Show enthusiasm and interest in all of your
job duties.
-
Maintain an appearance that is appropriate for
your workplace and shows that you take pride in yourself.
-
Pay attention to your telephone and email
etiquette. Use grammar and style appropriate for business
communications.
-
When talking with employers and other
professionals, remember to speak clearly and don't use slang.
-
Talking to an employer the same way you speak
to your friends might be seen as a lack of respect.
-
Have realistic expectations and timelines for
your career goals.
-
Recognize opportunities to increase your
skills or take on new projects.

Learn from your mistakes but do not dwell on
them.
-
Don't blame others or let outside
circumstances keep you from trying new things.

Take responsibility for your actions but don't
take things too personally.

Find one or more people to support and assist
you with your career goals.

Know what is expected of you and how your job
performance will be monitored or measured.

Know the priorities of your department or
company and find ways to help. Do more than what is expected,
instead of just doing enough to get by.
