Most people all over the world tend to lose their jobs easily or
get sacked due to lack of job security. Many companies today are either
downsizing or outsourcing job roles in order to cut down financial cost.
This article will help and guide you on
how to stay relevant in your current work place and secure your employment.
Be ready to take up extra job task:
It is advisable that you display a can-do attitude
every time at work, never complain when given an extra task or assignment, never
be in a hurry to leave the office and be willing to help your colleagues or boss
to complete their work.
Acquire and develop new set
of skills:
Ensure that you acquire and improve on new skills needed for your job
role that none of your colleague have. Also ensure you upgrade your educational
background by going for professional courses, master’s programme, training, or
development courses. This will improve and increase your performance and put
you ahead of others thereby making you an invaluable asset to the company.
Remain positive and don’t complain:
Avoid complaining when given an extra task to do. Do not complain
to your or supervisor about meeting deadlines or target given, rather remain
focused and positive.
Be friendly and noticeable:
Be friendly right from the receptionist to your fellow colleagues
and even your boss. Never fail to say “Hello” and get acquainted with other
staff members. Whenever there is a group discussion, either work related or
not, try to contribute positively and constructively to be noticed and
recognized. Remember, you are not valuable when you fail to be friendly to
others or when nobody knows you.
Be very punctual:
Make sure you come to work very early on a regular basis and try not
to be in a hurry to leave the office once it is 5pm, rather use the time to
complete an extra task and get to know your boss better. Doing this shows your
boss that you are making extra effort to ensure the successful performance of
the company.
Update your CV/resume
regularly:
Updating your resume regularly gives you an upper hand in applying
for internal vacancies faster. When your resume is current, you don’t need to rush
to update it again thereby avoiding making mistakes on your application.
Following all these steps will sure make you very relevant to your colleagues,boss and employer.
