Eight Essential Attitudes Needed for Job Maintenance Success
(From: 30 Ways to Shine As A New Employee; Denise Bissonnette)
Jobs are not created equal and not all jobs are perfect for you. Sometimes work can be tedious, boring and monotonous even for someone who loves his or her line of work. Sometimes, work is just work. Everyday will not be fun. You won't necessarily learn something new and exciting every day. For these reasons and many more it is important to see the 'bigger picture' of your life and the role that the job you are going to start soon will have in that picture.
- Livelihood is a journey, not a destination. You plan to use this job so that it works on your behalf in the present and for your future.
- Any job you do is worth doing well.
- You'll get as much from your job as you are willing to put into it.
- Attitude matters!
- It is the small, daily choices you make that determine and shape your destiny.
- Successful employees treat their employers as customers, not caretakers.
- Success on the job is related to skills and behaviours that are learnable.
- You want more from work than a paycheck.
