Sometimes, the less said, the better. Long passages detailing what you should and shouldn’t do with your career may appeal to some but most of us respond better to little nuggets of wisdom so here’re a few of our short and sweet tips to help you out at your job.
- First impressions are made in less than half a minute so always make eye contact and have a firm handshake at least.
- Always address stress.
- Sometimes, it’s alright to question authority. Especially if your boss is a bully.
- ‘Overnight successes’ don’t actually happen overnight. Look closer and you’ll see the process took a while.
- Every person you meet can form a connection in your network that could lead to another opportunity.
- Being amenable shouldn’t be reserved for only your seniors and bosses. Getting along with your team mates and your subordinates will make you more likeable which could help you get more done.
- Stay confident during phone interviews by striking a confident pose… even if no one’s watching.
- Always answer your e-mails and phone calls politely to leave a good impression.
