Ten Career Resolutions |
|
Dan Miller |
Like the old
saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your
life," it's never a bad time to start moving your career
in a better direction. Here are 10 New Year's
resolutions to help.
Pay Attention in Class
Treat every workday like a school day. Be sure you learn
something and use it to make yourself more productive.
It doesn't have to relate to your skills set. It may be
as simple as understanding how to work with specific
peers or emotional intelligence. Take mental notes.
Don't sleepwalk through the day.
Look for the Next Rung
You need to excel at your job. This is how you gain
credibility. But understanding your next step is key to
career happiness. Career pathing is critical to
remaining engaged on the job. Schedule discussions with
your manager to get clarity on the next challenge. If
you don't get it on your team or in your company, it may
be time to look elsewhere.
Understand Company Goals
Make sure you understand how your job contributes to
your company's business objectives. Are you in a
revenue-generating role? A brand-awareness role? Is your
mission to delight the customer? Knowing how your job
fits into the big picture will give you inspiration and
a sense of accomplishment -- and will help you
understand your job's impact.
Be Ethical
Bring integrity to your job. Whether you're running the
company or cleaning its bathrooms, be honest in all you
do. Don't call in sick just to get a day off -- that's
stealing. Put in an honest day's work. Be accountable.
If you're working remotely, be sure you are. Do what you
say you're going to do. Honesty and reliability mean a
lot to your manager.
Stay Fit
OK, this was probably on your last New Year's
resolutions list, but that's because it's so important.
Try to break a sweat for 20 minutes, three days a week.
Go for a walk at lunch. Join a gym. Lift weights. A
healthy body makes a healthy mind. Exercising increases
blood flow to the brain and gives you ideas. You'll be
more productive at work, and best of all, you'll feel
better.
Stretch Your Role
Occasionally think how you can go above and beyond. Are
there projects outside your defined role you could help
with? Be proactive; ask to join. Come up with your own
ideas, and work with your manager to implement them. If
you're a hamster, step off the wheel and poke your head
out of the cage. Stretch a little. This won't go
unnoticed.
Manage Up
Make sure you and your manager are in firm agreement on
what you're doing. Be proactive and get on his calendar
to ensure you're meeting or exceeding expectations.
Don't assume he's paying close attention. There are bad
managers. If there's a disconnect between what you're
doing and what your manager wants, you're partly to
blame. Don't wait until review time.
Manage Across
Even if you work primarily alone, be sure to make time
to understand your peers' roles and how they go about
their jobs. Show an interest. Don't just choose a few
friends and become part of a clique. High school is
over. You never know when you may need people -- or be
reporting to them.
Communicate
Don't leave people waiting for answers. If you're in an
email environment, return emails promptly. Let people
know what you're doing. If you're working on a project,
always ask yourself who needs to know about it, then
tell them. Talk to people; give them a heads up. And
when someone helps you out, be sure to thank him. It's
amazing this even needs to be on a list, but bad
communicators abound. Don't be one of them.
Make Time for Play
Have fun. Work hard, but smile while you're doing it. No
one likes a grump. Approach each day with a positive
spirit and stay loose. Enjoy your family and friends as
well. Make time for them -- and you. It's called
work/life balance. All work and no play makes life a
chore. |
