I just realised something. Im the kind of person who tries to be there for a friend, be it a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on.. but when it comes to me being down, i tend to keep it to myself and not share... and no one knows how im feeling inside.. at least until i burst out or smthn like tt..
oh well.. anyway.. i came across tips on how to impress your boss..and i copied those which are kinda helpful.. so yeap.. do take a look.. :)
1. Be organized. Plan your next day before you leave work. Rank your tasks by urgency and importance and make a point of doing at least the top two items on your list.
2. Be punctual. Arriving for work or meetings on time (even early) shows you're enthusiastic, dependable and able to manage your life effectively.
3. Be resourceful. Don't run to the boss with every question you have or setback you encounter. Think things through first. If you must report a problem to the boss, develop possible solutions to present.
4. Broaden your horizons. Take advantage of company-sponsored training courses and volunteer for projects in areas outside your everyday expertise.
5. Stay informed. Keep abreast of industry and company trends by reading trade journals and attending professional association events.
6. Be courteous. Show respect and loyalty to your boss and speak well of her to others. (At the very least don't bad mouth her to anyone.)
7. Take care of your health. When you're run-down, productivity and ambition suffer -- as does your image.
8. Go beyond the call of duty. Take on added challenges, put in extra hours, and never use the phrase, "That's not in my job description."
9. Look and act promotable. Don't let anyone think you work because you have to.
Till nxt time! Bye!
