So many people contacted me with great comments regarding my article, "16 Ways to
Keep Your Job" that I wanted to take some time to publish their great advice as well. To
my LinkedIn connections...thanks for all your help!
However, if you don't work with weirdo's (or they have already been purged), here are a
few other tips:
1. Just keeping busy may not spare you.... focus on how you can make a positive
(valuable $) difference in your organization.
2. Don't be a miser focusing solely on your shrunken budget and counting pennies.
Instead, think of ways to expand or attract money or resources to your organization...
regardless of your job description.
3. Stop complaining. Find the opportunity that exists in whatever situation you are in.
4. Become "that guy or girl" people come to solve problems, or get something done well.
5. Treat everyone around you with the same tone and manner of respect and appreciation
you seek in return.
6. Be grateful you have a job with health insurance, and act like it. Work like you know
there are any number of people who could do your job as well or better than you do...
unless, of course, you're a brain surgeon, a rocket scientist or are saving the planet single
handedly... :)
1. Produce more
Work harder. Work longer hours. Immerse yourself in your profession. Know what your
suppliers and your competition are doing. Know everything. Become an invaluable
resource to your colleagues.
