Set yourself apart

A good way to succeed at your job is to set yourself apart from your co-workers. Impress your bosses by beating expectations & taking the job seriously. Whatever it is that you are doing, do it well. A good boss will notice your efforts and reward you for them, to the best of their ability.

Be a team player

You are most-likely working with a team of people on a product or project. In team environments, it’s important to be a team player. If you work well with others, your productivity, both individually and teamwide, will soar.

Unfortunately, many people don’t work well with others. Your team members might slack or make too many mistakes due to rushing or inexperience. Even in these situations, you can be a team player by providing support & help wherever your co-workers need it.

Take initiative

Take initiative in all areas of your work. If there’s an opportunity to learn something new, take it. If you see work that needs to be done that nobody is doing, do it.

Know your value

Determine what you bring to the table at your company. It could be a dollar amount, benefits, paid time off, promotions, anything. Tell your bosses what you expect from the job and from them. Communicate this professionally, but clearly. You might not get the response you’re hoping for in the end. However, you won’t know if you don’t try.

Know when it’s time to leave

Sometimes, to succeed at your job, you need to find a new one. Knowing when it’s time to find a new job can be hard, especially if you’re treated well. However, if you’ve done all of the above & you’re still in the same place you were months or years ago, it might be time to move on.
