<\/p>\nEmployment is the cornerstone of personal finance. A steady income is the starting point for all things stable, including your budget, expenses, investments and credit repair efforts. In an uncertain job market, it\u2019s important to distinguish yourself to ensure long-term security. So, what should you do to keep your job?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Right now. Talk about your work frustrations with a spouse or close friend, but don\u2019t air your complaints around the office. Criticizing your boss, coworkers or daily tasks will make you seem negative and apathetic. Discuss serious issues with your manager in private. Otherwise, it\u2019s time to count your blessings.<\/li>\n
A good employee understands that team success is as important as personal success. Pitch in whenever possible to assist your fellow workers and help the office run smoothly. Even a small favor can go a long way to boost morale and illustrate your willingness to help. Join the group; a valued team member is difficult to replace.<\/li>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what we\u2019d do without <insert your name here>.\u201d High praise is reserved for those who are indispensable. Look for weak points in your office processes and find a way to fill unmet needs. For example:Kate is one of many technical writers for a software company. Although each writer understands how to use the products, their writing styles and layouts vary drastically, leading to mistakes and inefficient customer communication. Understanding the problem, Kate decides to write a style guide, outlining how to organize documents, which phrases to use and how to edit appropriately. She uploads the document to the server and encourages her coworkers to offer their own suggestions. Kate\u2019s style guide becomes a writing standard within the year and Kate is promoted to a lead position. <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Kate\u2019s practical approach improved workflow and established her managerial niche. Take a lesson from her initiative and do the same in your position.<\/p>\n
In a competitive market, self-improvement is the best way to stay ahead of the game. As we learned from Kate, even a small action can result in large rewards. Take stock of your position by making a list of your duties. Create a second list detailing the things you\u2019d like to learn or improve upon in the year ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Conscientiousness is an important part of a) keeping the boss happy, and b) engaging your mind and personal satisfaction. Prioritize career security and advancement by asking yourself the important questions:<\/b><\/p>\n Combine this list with your thoughts on self-improvement. Once you\u2019ve established some personal clarity, talk to your boss about his\/her expectations during your annual review. Ask:<\/p>\n The bottom line: Job security is available to those who seek it. Take an assertive approach\u2014your efforts will not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Employment is the cornerstone of personal finance.
