How to become a good worker

I run the Essence brand studio and constantly receive a resume. I have already learned to read these messages between the lines and see through people. Many do not even have a resume, but a set of casual work contacts. There is no logic and consistency - they work anywhere for three months: merchandiser, supervisor, animator, tow truck. At the same time, everyone wants stability, a vacation, a social package, a white salary and a black Volga with a driver. Guys, what will you give in return if you are better at looking for a job than working?

Here are some tips for those who really want to be a good employee, not appear to be.

1. Accept the fact that you are an employee

Everyone knows the scornful expression "work for an uncle." Instead, everyone wants to cut easy money, have their own business, mine cryptocurrency, and so on, but let's be honest - thousands have the talent of self-earning, and millions are burned out. Millions burn out for millions! Are you ready for this level of responsibility? If not, catch the pattern: denial → anger → bargaining → depression → acceptance.

2. Find your calling

This is the most banal phrase of all times and peoples, but it is also the most relevant. Even in children's fairy tales, Ivan ceases to be a fool when he finds his way. You are ready to do your life's work for free or even at a loss.

Some will have to dig into themselves very seriously. There is a good exercise for revealing subconscious desires: you need to write on a piece of paper 100 different answers to the questions "Who am I?" and "What do I want to do?"

3. Do not spray

This advice is especially relevant for young and active people, with a motor in the fifth point. It's normal for such people to change jobs often or combine everything. After 30, you still have to get the motor out and start living with your head. Isn't it better to hit at one point right away while you have strength?

4. Solve your boss's problems, don't create them

Many people confuse the boss with the primary school teacher. He, of course, teaches, explains, punishes, sometimes makes you wear a uniform, but this is where the similarities end. Nobody will wipe your snot. Talk to your supervisor - not often, but thoroughly. Write everything down and wind it up. Perhaps there is already an instruction manual somewhere on the shelf that contains all your "Why?"

5. Learn and develop

Someone will say to himself: "I am already an excellent worker and I know my profession by heart!" Perhaps now you really have reached a peak in your sandbox and rested your head against an iron fungus, but the world does not end there, and the stars are much higher. Ask your boss for more responsibility, take students, participate in professional skill contests. Develop your skills!

6. Learn to take reviews

It's not bottles - it's not a shame to collect reviews. Get a portfolio, get recommendations. For all this, I use the acronym DBD (Proof of Violent Activity). Instead of thousands of great stories about yourself, just show your portfolio and that's it.

7. Save your time

I always respect people who are greedy for time, those who understand that this is an irreplaceable and important resource. Minced meat cannot be turned back, so grab your teeth for the skills that speed you up: speed reading, blind typing, and so on. By the way, this text was recorded by me using voice dialing. Time management decides!

8. Resist less

In many, from childhood, the same scheme has been sitting: to spite my mother, I will frostbite my ears. Defend your opinion at any cost! No step back! Never bend under those on top! Sound familiar? But you come to work for a person, not he comes to work for you. You are not even partners or rivals. There is a vertical of power, and it's not up to you to shake it. Are you really right? Or maybe it just seems to you? If you are really right, state it correctly and without pressure. You shouldn't make a tempest every day.

If it all seems trivial to someone, I'm sorry, but these things are absolutely working. I tested them on myself and give them with all my heart. Thank you for the attention.
