We all want to be appreciated in our work whether from our officer or our partners. That situation could very much affecting toward our work. Should any problem occur whether from our obnoxious partners or our hot headed boss could decrease our potential at work. How good it would be if we are in a good condition and relaxing. All of our responsibility fulfilled, our partners encourage us, and have a caring boss.
There are some companies that have a tradition to point out "Employee of the Month" among its employees. Such reward toward good employee is given to someone who is considered have the most achievement on certain month. Usually, that kind of reward will support them in the future.
One of the ways to reach improvement of our careers is to impress our officer with our work. But you should pay attention that there are special tricks to make our superiors look at us with impression. Don't make any wrong step that could make us look like a someone looking for more attention.
Not all of bosses can be easily impressed especially when we're in the middle of competitive condition, each of the employee wants to show his/her potential. Of course we're not the only one.. Just a wrong move and it could lead to the condition where our co-workers dislike us and very potentially put us in poor working situation.
There are some tips that I could give you so you can implement those in the office to make our bosses 'fall in love' without interrupting other people. Aside from that, there is a chance that we'll be appreciated not just by our bosses but from our co-workers as well.
First tip: Work as a team
It is one of things that our bosses like. With other co-workers, we'll do our responsibility for the same goal. So we have to develop our skill in working with others and helping each other. Help those without exception and don't be shy to give complement for what they've done.
Second tip: Enjoy your work
Always look cheerful and enthusiastic, even when there are a lot of work to do. Just do what is told without any comment. One of the HRD manager of a big company have said that we can work hard and still enjoy it. Show some positive attitudes and personality. But we also have to know our limit. Just be honest to our superior if we can't do it alone. Don't get stuck in an 'can't be done task'.
Third tip: Work well
Be convinced and show it to our boss that we can do all of our jobs with 100% responsibility. Our superior will notice that we're doing it almost perfectly. But do not give disadvantage situation to others to reach our goal. Be a countable employee. Get the job done before deadline, and always be on time. Don't forget to call the office if we have other business that make us unable to go to the office, of course with a good reason.
Fourth tip: Show initiative
Why don't we give a solution of a problem instead always expecting answers from questions? If we hope that one day manager position or even higher rank can be reached, we have to find and give solution of work problems. Don't just be a 'doll' in the office, be initiative to show our biggest potential, but don't overdo it. Let the boss make the final decision, we make solutions. That would be convenient for our superior without showing doubts about his/her ability. Instead, he/she will think that decision has been thought before. Well, good for us..get ready for promotion!
Fifth tip: Become essential
Being an expert in one field that others can't comprehend is showing technical skill that is very needed by companies, relatively hard to be done. For an example, a staff in marketing agency have made a job for nothing to handle database. Meanwhile, the managing director is paying attention silently for what he's done.Soon, he is promoted to be a database consultant for company client. Good example, isn't it?
Sixth tip: Take a risk
Try to think of this, there are many superiors who are ambitious, one who always looking and recognizes talent and the same quality of someone else. This ambitious trait will make us more confident and dare to take a risk. As an example, we can apply to be part of a challenging new project willingly. Our superior will judge us as someone who dares to take a risk to moving forward.
Seventh tip: Be honest
Don't ever hide something from our superiors, especially when it comes to work. Be honest for anything that includes professionalism during work. Tell the truth if we make any mistake. Our superior will appreciate more someone who admit mistake than someone who hides from it and let other people make up for it. Learn from experience to avoid those mistakes.
Eighth tip: Clean up your mess
Being an expert in making excuses is something we can't be proud of. Being able to admit weaknesses and dare to take responsibility are two noble traits in our career. If we don't know, then say we don't know.If we make mistakes, admit them. Then, make a step to clean up the mess. An employee who avoids responsibility will make his/her boss frustrated. In general, people will not get you down when we fall. Humans make mistakes, and it's relieving to hear someone admit and regret for the mistakes they've done. If you don't do that, you'll just end up putting yourselves in a disadvantage situation and disappointing your superior.
Ninth tip: Be professional
Whatever you're dealing with in your personal life, don't let it affect you in work. We mustn't mix between personal and business life. Indeed, it's not that easy. When people hurt you in your personal life, you're demanded to finish a lot of work regardless your condition. Learn to always be a professional in every chances. That includes when our boss is angry because our mistakes, don't let it get you. Accept it as a valuable lesson for your own good and your career.
The last tip: Dress perfectly
Have you ever heard, looks is everything that matters? Make your boss be impressed with perfect looks, he/she will be proud having you around. If your boss know you as someone who always looks perfect, there is a big chance you'll be asked to deal with many clients. Who knows in the future, your clients are impressed and give your boss a good report about yourselves. That's a plus we've already gained.
