Rolling up your Sleeves


One thing I know for sure is you get more respect and better reviews if you are the type of employee that is willing to roll up your sleeves while other employees are not.
Do not get me wrong; I am not talking about staying 4 more hours at work, neither am I talking about doing something outrageous just to show that you are hard working.
I am talking about:
Having a positive attitude while others are being pessimistic,
Strategizing and knowing which role will boost your credibility to your boss,
Willing to take one for the team,
Taking the time to listen and understand what your boss would like to see happen,
Befriending your boss in a professional manner (he/she is a person and likes to be treated like a person--not an evil beast out to ruin you)

My challenge for you is:
Roll up your sleeves and go beyond the defined role.
Even if you are not currently employed, you can volunteer and get valuable experience that you can use to get employed.
Challenge yourself!

Need assistance finding ways to stand out or roll up your sleeves higher?
get in touch.
