If you're looking for that promotion or pay rise then you'll need to be noticed by your employer, so here's a few tips to stand out from the crowd:
Have a Friendly & Positive attitude towards Everyone you come into contact
Provide Service and treat Everyone as your customer
Be Professional at all times
Always look for extra work, especially when others are ducking for cover to avoid it
Watch what your colleagues are doing, copy from the ones who are receiving praise for their efforts but learn to do it better than them, while avoiding doing what your "lazier or negative" colleagues are doing
Be a Thinker and offer suggestion on how to do things better and more efficiently
Plan and follow your plan
Don't Procrastinate, do what needs to be done NOW!!
Think ahead, when ask to do A & B, do C as well
Anticipate the next question and provide the answer before you're asked
Dress and Act as if you were already in the position you want to reach
Go to lunch with successful people and learn from them
Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for help
Avoid Office Politics
Be an Individual while being a team player
Learn everything about your company and products
Follow these tips and you won't need to ask for a promotion or extra money, it will happen automatically.
