A new year is the best time for many to give themselves a kick up the backside to sorting their lives out.

Dress for the job

If you’ve got a uniform that you’re required to wear, make sure that you’re wearing it correctly and proudly. Iron all items of clothing so that it looks smarter too as there’s nothing worse for a boss to look at than a scruffy member of staff. If you’re not required to wear a particular uniform, then dress for the job that you want. Look as professional as possible so that you stand out from your colleagues and impress your bosses. It won’t go unnoticed.

Further your knowledge

This isn’t necessarily something that your bosses will notice until you’re up for promotion, but furthering your knowledge within the job you’re in will wow your boss when it comes to showing them your qualifications. There are a plethora of courses that you can take in your own time on www.masterthemind.com, so why not take a look and see if there’s anything which could help you take your career further this year?

Take on extra roles

While you’re taking extra courses at home, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t take on extra roles at work. Many people go to work and stick to the jobs that they are assigned, then go home and repeat it the next day. If you’ve finished your allocated tasks for the day, why not look for more things to do to help the company run smoother. A great way to do this is by asking your boss if there’s anything extra that you can do to help out. This will show initiative and willingness to work, which is a very good trait to show.

Go the extra mile

Try your best to go the extra mile whenever possible at work so that you can show your bosses that you’re capable of many things and also that you care about the company. This could be helping a customer further than you naturally would. For example, if something is out of stock you could order the item in and offer to call them when it arrives, or arrange for delivery to their home. This will grab your boss’ attention and also provoke the customer to give you some awesome feedback too.

 

Try these four ideas for your career today and you will soon notice that you’re no longer invisible at work. Don’t forget that if you hear of a promotion at work to put yourself forward so that your boss knows you’re interested in taking your career further!
