Have you dreamt of being Employee of the year, but didnt know how to get there? Here are some tried and tested tips on how to grab that coveted spot
Always dress well
So it's one of those days when you simply dont feel like dressing up and a casual kurta is all you can muster. And then bam! You have a meeting with the big boss, who is wondering who you are and why you are here. So look presentable not just for that surprise meeting, but also for the rare sighting of a handsome man who might just join you at that meeting!
Your friends love you, but everyone at work doesnt have to
Practical studies and life's experiments have proven that a person only has about a handful of really good friends who you can trust with your life. At work, do what you are expected to: work. Even if you feel like it’s your second home, there is no need to start another family here! You’ll have some friends and some foes, but be realistic, not everyone is going to like you and vice versa because they are only here to work, make money and go home.
Go on vacation; no one likes a grumpy employee
Aren,t you beaming already? Going on a vacation is like being happily lost in the magic that unfolds in discovering any new place. It offers you a chance to leave all the stress and baggage of work behind and enjoy some memorable moments, hopefully without your phone! Not only does it calm your frayed nerves, a holiday will also helps you re-energise your system to work better when you are back.
Call your mistakes learning lessons
People make mistakes all the time, but mistakes are often forgiven and forgotten if treated as learning lessons. The first thing you do if and when you make a mistake is to own up and take responsibility. It will not only imply that you are aware of what you did, but it will also earn you some respect and keep you from faltering again. So feel free to have some blonde moments; just be sure to learn from them.
Provide solutions
Being the damsel in distress only works in films, so instead of posing problems or coming up with questions, think of solutions in advance. For example, if you are working on a shoot and your model ditches you a day before, dont go whining to your boss about it. Instead, start fixing the problem instantly. Call your contacts who will help and find a model. Then go to your boss and explain how you saved the day. Then, turn sideways and wait for a pat on the back!
Cry in the restroom
Women have a love/hate relationship with tears; sometimes we cry in frustration, sometimes its comforting. However, why go and display this personal relationship at work? People who display their tears are often seen as weaklings, so if you want to cry, go to the restroom! You’ll soon see people whispering, " She is such a strong girl; she handles things so gracefully. She’s my hero!” Soon, you will be crowned ‘Employee of the year’.
