Top 5 Ways to Keep Your Job Under Any
Circumstance
In
these days, there are still lots of downsizing happening. Keeping
your job can be essential for a stable life. The secret to keeping
a job is to be as indispensable as possible. Here are some of
my top recommendations in making yourself indispensable in your
company.
1. Report
regularly to your boss, even you have not been asked for. Every boss want to know the progess of his/her subordinates'
works. Drop him/her a small notes, an email or a memo about your
progress once a week.
2. Inform
your boss well in advance any potential problem. Nobody
want this kind of suprises. In case of any potentail problem, tell
him/her in advance. Tell him at the same time what you had done
to prevent this from happening.
3. Volunteer
to do more. You are more indispensable if you take
up more works than your colleagues. Of course, it means hardwork.
But this also increases your visibility to other people (might
be your boss's boss) in the company. It can be a good idea to serve
on task forces and committees.
4. Enlarge
your allies. You
might not be able to find true friends in workplace but you do
not
need enemies either.
Make others, especially
those "powerbases" be your allies. Executive secretaries
and human resources people must be some of your friends in your
company. They can affect many decisions or at least they can
tell you something about your fate in your company in advance.
5. Make
yourself famous for something good. You must be something
or you are dispensable. You can be either a great negotiator, a
super salesperson, or you can be famous for keeping great quality
or anything else. Make yourself famous for something good.
