5 Tips to Accelerate Your Career to the Next Level
Is your career running out of steam with no growth or your motivation is diving?
Do you keep getting the same average salary offers with no significant increase and feel left-out by friends who had scaled the career ladder?
Here are 5 tips to help you advance your career:
Work on your ATTITUDE
A positive attitude is something that goes deeper and has an effect beyond surface cheer, while negative attitudes promote fear, and narrows focus.
Your stagnancy might be due to your negative attitude at work. It might also be that you’re not approachable and your presence might exude negativity.
The first step to advancing your career is to shun being a negative person at work. Be positive and submit yourself to learning.
Make a Mission Statement
Do you have a personal mission statement?
Your organisation probably has a mission statement, so you should have one yourself.
A personal mission statement will help you define your purpose at work and pushes you to do better.
When you feel like you have a purpose, you can be positive and quickly get noticed by your manager or employer.
Expand Your NETWORK
Networking is about building relationships, sharing information and finding sources of support.
So, pop that comfort-zone bubble and go beyond the familiar to expand your network and knowledge.
Make new friends and contacts at work and connect with people through professional organisations.
Put more EFFORT
Go above and beyond to execute tasks on time. It would help if you also volunteered for work in the office to build relationships.
It’s great to step outside of your day-to-day work and contribute to a different mission. That way, you’ll meet new people who would help you grow.
Acquire new SKILLS
Your skills are probably outdated, and you will need to upskill through progressive learning to become a natural speaker and industry expert.
