Give your 100% at All Times

The labor industry has changed big time throughout the years. If your parents experienced job security 2 to 3 decades ago, that is because most employers, value committed employees and would normally keep them under different circumstances for as long as they wanted to stay.  For the most part today, job security is just a word because if your employer is dissatisfied with your performance, he can replace you anytime. Your employer knows that as much as he needs people he can trust in his organization, he also needs competitive and success driven individuals to run his business, and he will be willing to lay you off if he sees that you are not what he has expected you to be and if you are not an asset to his company anymore.

This is a sad reality and this is why you, as an employee should accept that these things are happening to even the most seasoned workers. Get used to the idea that you may have one job in your current career and you may have to work for more than one company. Now, if you are given the chance to work in one of the best companies in the region or in the country, do the best that you can in order to make your boss happy and don't make him regret that he included your name on his payroll.

The most important thing that you need to learn is to manage your own career. Don't wait for your employer to assess your performance; if possible, evaluate your job performance everyday. If you want career advancement, then start taking responsibility for your own career development because nobody can make you become successful other than you yourself. Choose your own career path because if you don't, somebody might do it for you and there is no guarantee that you will like what they planned for your career.

Check your skills every now and then and find out if you still have the same expertise as you have had before. Strive to develop as an employee by learning new skills and enhancing your current ones to be up to date with the demand of the labor industry today. Have an open mind and identify career opportunities that might boost your career and make sure that you always give your 100% in everything that you do at work.

The success of your career lies entirely in your hands and better career management will help you achieve this success in no time. Be mindful of how you perform inside the office and no matter what happens, make sure that your boss is pleased with the results of the tasks that he has placed in your care.
